LAS VEGAS - Results of final, round 3 eliminations in Competition Eliminator at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Pacific Division, event at Top Gun Raceway:

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET-- Speed

3:24 p.m. Barcelon drove a great race, but still did not get the win light, Cowan coming by like a runaway freight train. Jim Cowan's MOV: 0.0271 seconds (approximately 6 feet). Since this is being run at Las Vegas, a factored track, that's probably not enough to earn any permanent penalty. Note: The original report had the wrong index for Cowan - it was 9.14, not 9.08.
