9:28 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 54 degrees, relative humidity 38 percent, barometer 29.00 inches, adjusted altitude 1,032 feet, track temperature 61 degrees.

Waggoner leaves with a five light and then has a puff of smoke from the right bank about 330 out. About 1000 feet down the track, both banks are trailing heavy smoke and he pulls the dragster over to the wall after the finish line.

Webber left right with him and dumps early to ensure no breakout.
