This is for all the glory and the bragging rights. One of these two will get to hold the title of the baddest SS/AH on the planet.

Houser goes in last, takes his time lighting the last bulb and then blasts the tree.

Pancake's car ran much harder on the front half of the track but Houser's starting line prowess took care of that.

Congratulations to the West Coasters for their successful raid into the heart of the heartland and at the most famous dragstrip anywhere.
