Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma CA: Top Gun Raceway, Fallon, NV Top Dragster Final Round from June 9, 2013.

These two were literally pulling into the water box for their final round burnouts, when the front on an incoming Thunderstorm blew sand across the track on the top end. The round was reschedule for today.

Chris Forsyth has borrowed a car for just this round. He gets a nice starting line advantage at the green, but his Rent-A-Racer expires before the 330 lights.

John Richardson was chasing and saw Forsyth slow. He motored on down the track for the easy Top Dragster Championship.
