4:43 p.m. Here we are at the finals for Top Fuel. A few twists and turns and we have a match up of prior Reunion winners. Harris appeared to have holes out at an idle and it didn't really clean up all the way down. Murphy took the lead at the green and never looked back. Congratulations to all the teams that competed at CHRR XV this weekend, but it's time to go to the last Cacklefest at IN N Out at Panama Lane!
