Daniels barely made the staging call for round one, finds himself facing a known tough customer in the final round of SS/AH Class eliminations (aka the Mopar Hemi Challenge). Both drivers had good lights, but Daniels had a hundredth in hand at the tree and he was only a thousandth slower than Barton on the run. Jim Daniels' MOV: 0.0087 seconds (approximately 24 inches) to take the SS/AH title.
