In Top Alcohol Funny Car Bobby Martin’s Dodge Charger ran 5.624/256.84 to defeat the 5.629/256.60 by Steve Harker’s Chevy Monte
“This was a tricky racing surface,” Peiser said. “Summit Motorsports Park is an exceptionally well prepared facility, but when it rains, and then the sun comes out and heats the track, it’s tough to make the right tuning calls. Steve did a great job riding our Snap-on Tools/WyoTech Technical Schools Suzuki, and I think we’re right on the verge of winning one of these races.”
Johnson stopped former American Harley-Davidson Racing Association Pro Stock superstar Junior Pippin in the first round with a superior Reaction Time and better elapsed time and then used an even better R.T. to take a holeshot victory over Chip Ellis in the second round. But, in the semifinals Johnson had the tables turned on him when Craig Treble defeated him with a holeshot of his own.
