In Pro Stock the Infineon Drag Strip records continued
to drop, led by Greg Anderson in his Round two win over Alan Johnson,
setting the mark at 6.780/203.52. Larry Morgan hadn't won a round since
the Winternationals, but beat fellow MOPAR driver Greg Stanfield, thanks
to help from David Nickens and a secret phone conversation with veteran
Bob Glidden who helped with chassis problems spotted by Glidden on the
ESPN2 TV coverage.

In one of the closest races of the day John Force met
Ron Capps. They left together with identical .490 reaction times, but
the Austin Coil horsepower won this one by an eyelash running a 4.953/303.09
to Capps' 4.956/300.46. John Force picked up Wally #102.
Top Fuel found Doug Kalitta against Doug Herbert, with
Kalitta leaving first and dropping cylinders as Herbert pulled away
at 700 feet for the win, running 4.727/308.85 to Kalitta's 4.766/305.36.
Johnny West has found the missing consistency in Herbert's tune-up to
pick up his first win as a nitro crew chief.
