The last time the NHRA Funny Car speed record was set by a Dodge was in 1991 at Pomona by Jim White at 291.82 mph.

This started out as a clean run for both drivers. They both lost traction at half track and it turned into a pedal-fest, Densham having greater success at getting the tires hooked up than Scelzi.

Densham will give lane choice to Johnson in round three.
