4:10 p.m.
Weather conditions: air temperature 86 degrees, relative humidity 63 percent, barometer 28.68 inches, adjusted altitude 4,274 feet, track temperature 101 degrees.
Ficco has been really hot lately, but I can't think of a tougher racer to bet against in a final than David Rampy. The pair has never met in competition until this round. Ficco won the Winternations this year.
Rampy has 72 wins, seven of them here which is his most at any racetrack.

And, once again, Rampy demonstrates why he's one of the most respected drag racers in the world.
