Jimmy Jones and Terry Brian blazed the hides side by side to kick off the semifinal round as this one was set up to be an excellent race on paper. Brian had the horsepower advantage but knew Jones could jump up at any time and dip into the 3.80s. Off the line, Jones took the early lead and held a wheel on Brian at half-track. As they blasted through the finish line, Jones lit the scoreboards with a 3.95 at 182 to take the win over Brian's quicker but loosing 3.93 at 188 mph as .039 of a second separated the two at the stripe. Jones was heading to the last dance to take on the winner between the next pair, Donnie Massey vs. Mark Bowman. Bowman had been fighting an unknown vibration in the "Blown Income" entry and after the burnout, that vibration got worse and he was forced to shut-off to prevent further damage. On a solo shot, Massey thundered to a stellar 3.89 at 186 mph to move into the finals against Jones.

SEMIFINAL RESULTS:

(W) Donnie Massey (.393 RT) 3.89/186 vs. (L) Mark Bowman (No Time)

A classic blown alcohol vs. blown nitro match up was on tap in the final round at Mo-Kan Dragway with points leader Jimmy Jones ready to dance with Donnie Massey to crown an event champion. The crew chiefs pulled their drivers to the beams and at the flash of amber, Jones took the early lead. At half-track the cars were glued together side by side and charging hard with Massey shooting header flames high in the sky. Massey made a move at the top end and pulled ahead to take the win with an impressive 3.86 at 185 mph to Jones' close 3.94 at 184 mph in a great side by side final round. The margin of victory just .004 of a second at the stripe.

This marked the first win of the season for Donnie Massey and team "Showtime" and moved them into second place in the points standings behind Jimmy Jones who now holds a thirty point lead.
