5:03 PM After a short delay while oil from the Pro Mod final was cleaned up, these two fired, the exhaust from Romine's engine sending a crew member's hat sailing high in the air and over into the spectator area - instant souvenir. Once again Romine went up in smoke and once again the Werner Enterprises Top Fuel Dragster went right down the middle of the groove on a smooth, quick run. Millican's car was much softer than usual on this run, with a 0.906 60-foot time and the mid-track speed just 248.34 mph, but a win is a win is a ...Millican stays undefeated for the season, fifteen round wins and five event wins in a row. Now the question is not whether he will win the championship, it's whether he will do so with a twelve-event-win season!
