POMONA, Calif. - Results of final, round 4 eliminations in Top Alcohol Funny Car at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 44th annual Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals:

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
    5 Steve Harker                           32 Mick Snyder                  
E4                         No Time           ****WINNER****  0.143  5.591 258.71
 Prior rounds:
E3    (B Martin    ) 0.073  5.561 249.81      (J Payne     ) 0.056  5.616 257.04
E2    (D Oliver    ) 0.106  5.578 251.11      (M Ferro     ) 0.097  5.617 256.94
E1    (D Hudson    ) 0.119  5.549 257.24      (R August Jr ) 0.054  5.600 255.87
 Qualified:             #1  5.556 252.57                        #2  5.565 258.86

It doesn't happen all that often but #1 and #2 meet in the final. Oh ouch. Harker went to fire the car and just like that a fuel fitting breaks, and he's not going to make the run. Snyder runs the car out the back door and shows Harker that it wouldn't have been a pushover. Nice pass to close out the alky floppers.
