Weather conditions: air temperature 78 degrees, relative humidity 26 percent, barometer 28.25 inches, adjusted altitude 3,381 feet, track temperature 98 degrees.

These two matched up earlier this year in the Sonoma final and Scelzi won that one. He holds a five to four in head to head match ups. Scelzi is out of the gate first and this is a great drag race. Ron Capps' incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.003), 330 ft(0.012), 660ft(0.010), 1,000ft(0.009). MOV: 0.0103 seconds (approximately 5 feet). Capps with the win is now just two points behind Scelzi and Force is 28 points behind Scelzi as we go into the final race of the year.
