Just noticed that my favorite Comp class, B/SR, won in Comp Elim today.  Way to go, Arnie!  Note they both ran a better ET than they qualified.

Elsewhere:

Top Fuel - Tony Schumacher def. Antron Brown
Funny Car - Jack Beckman def. Cruz Pedergon
Pro Stock - Justin Humphries got a walkover when Kurt Johnson couldn't start (on his starter)
Pro Stock Bike - Steve Johnson got a gift when Eddie Krawiec red bulbed.  (BTW, out of 15 races there were 5 red lights!  I sure wish the NHRA Comp guys would fix this by dumping the 0.400 "Pro Tree" and reducing it to something like 0.300 or drop the yellow all together and just go green.)
