3:38 PM Here comes the semifinal round of Funny Car. Tony makes his best pass of the weekend. By far! On the radio Force was yelling 'Good job kid. Good job!'. Skuza was very loose and cleaned off the timing blocks from 330 to 660.

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   1 John Force          4.831 304.32  Q  12 Gary Densham        5.217 267.48
   (G Mikres    ) 0.561  4.899 300.00 E1   (R Capps     ) 0.506  6.889 149.66
   (F Pedregon  ) 0.489  4.859 316.15 E2   (D Creasy, Jr) 0.512  6.699 187.89
                  0.508  9.539  95.49 E3 *****WINNER***** 0.501  6.596 140.65

Will Denshams luck hold and put him into the final? Not if Force has anything to say. These two are very close friends and Gary is the kind of racer that Force fears. Hungry! Densham does it again! Force strikes the tires and it's almost all over. By almost I mean that Densham had the rear tire ON the yellow line but not OVER. Densham goes to the final with Tony Pedregon. Force was 18-0 against Densham and now it's 18-1.
