Friday Semi-Finals:

(W) Bruce Litton (Lucas Oil Dragster)
0.118 / 5.663 / 248.80

(L) Bobby Lagana Jr. (POW-MIA Dragster)
0.110 / 5.752 / 211.10

7:13 p.m. Both drivers had to work to get to the other end in this opening pair, both cars hazing the tires before half track and dropping cylinders, They both managed to regain some semblance of traction to finsh under power, with tire smoke and unburned fuel trailing both cars. They swapped the lead back and forth a couple times and Lagana led at half track, but Litton drew even at the 1,000-foot marker and got to the stripe first by about a car length to go to the final round.

Bruce Litton's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.013), 330 ft(0.024), 660ft(-0.009), 1,000ft(0.000). MOV: 0.0811 seconds (approximately 25 feet).

Friday Finals:

(W) Bruce Litton (Lucas Oil Dragster)
0.129 / 5.230 / 261.78

(L) Spencer Massey (Bexar Waste Dragster)
0.089 / 5.885 / 164.35

10:34 p.m. Massey had a better reaction time, but Litton made that up and more by the 60-foot marker and he won going away. As with teammate Cox, Massey's header flames went out around half track, while Litton was under power all the way to the stripe.

Saturday Semi-Finals:

(W) Bruce Litton (Lucas Oil Dragster)
0.108 / 5.289 / 248.93

(L) Spencer Massey (Bexar Waste Dragster)
0.085 / 6.095 / 165.25

Last night, Litton ran in the right lane in both rounds. Tonight he's on the left side.

Litton made up the reaction time difference and more in the first 60 feet, then streaked away, but he also found the top-end traction elusive, hazing the tires for the final 400 feet. Massey was two tenths of a second back at 330 feet and his header flames went out soon after.

Litton will have lane choice against Lagana in the championship round, Massey will have lane chocie against teammate Cox in the consolation round.

Saturday Finals:

(W) Bobby Lagana Jr. (POW-MIA Dragster)
0.108 / 5.244 / 250.78

(L) Bruce Litton (Lucas Oil Dragster)
0.134 / 5.251 / 261.52

10:05 p.m. This was a close drag race, probably decided when Litton had to pedal on the top end to regain traction. Lagana led most of the way, but it was never a "done deal" until Litton's header flames went out briefly around the 1,000-foot marker. Bobby Lagana Jr.'s incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(0.016), 330 ft(-0.003), 660ft(0.031), 1,000ft(0.038). MOV: 0.0334 seconds (approximately 13 feet).
