5:10 PM Aragona comes in with 0.14 seconds worth of accumulated CIC, Taylor just 0.06. But when your car gets very sideways on the launch it's very hard to get to the finish line first against an opponent who goes right down the groove. That's what happened to Taylor, his D Altered Camaro fishtailing and almost crossing the centerline. Aragona was clean and straight all the way through.
