3:11 PM Wow! It's going to be tough to top the drama in the Top Fuel semi's but let's see what happens. Well, this one was just about as good. The pair traded the lead back and forth until about 1100 feet where Worsham took it for good. Margin of victory = 0.007 seconds (approximately 3 feet).

 Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
   1 Whit Bazemore       4.741 322.27  Q    5 Gary Densham        4.805 318.62

 *****WINNER***** 0.500  4.736 322.81  E3                  0.310  4.855 295.01

You gotta wait for the green. Densham didn't so it's Bazemore going to the final round to face Worsham. Oh yeah. Bazemore has lane choice due to another 4.7. Every run he's made this weekend has been in this range.
