4:50 PM We had a little delay after the Alcohol Funnycar final but Comp is up and ready to run. Both drivers have given up CIC so this could be interesting. Deceglie throws a .004 light at Carter and he takes the win over the 2003 Competition Eliminator champion. Vinnie Deceglie's MOV: 0.0245 seconds (approximately 7 feet). That was the final run of the 2003 season. See you at Pomona in February.
