Mike Salinas set a new zMAX Dragway track record, blasting his Scrappers Racing dragster to a 3.687, breaking the 3.689 mark set last year by Brittany Force.

Fresh off of his runner-up two weeks ago in Houston, Antron Brown raced to a 3.725 for the second position with Terry McMillen just a few ticks back at 3.728. Only Doug Kalitta (3.733) also made it down the track as the teams struggled like their Funny Car peers that ran before them.
