4:27 PM We end the day with the baddest of the dragster field today Ormsby against Meyer, both capable of running way down in the low forties and even thirties. Both have been consistent throughout eliminations, so this figured to be a plain old drag race. Ormsby showed that the good driver genes run deep in his family, with a great light and a career-best run to win by a margin of victory = 0.092 seconds (approximately 35 feet).
