Densham leaves first but can't muster the power to stay in front of the 'big black' car. If Sarver showed any weakness it was the fact that he did haze the tires before the finish. After Pomona everyone was saying it just wouldn't be Force's year. Two weeks later he's in the final with lane choice over Bruce Sarver. The race against Capps was an even start and side by side until the Capps racer struck the tires about half track.
Force streak away.
He holds a 2-0 record against Sarver in final rounds. Sarver has thrown a 4.86 earlier so this one should be close. Well, that's not close and John hands Coil his 100th and he wins his third straight at Firebird Raceway. Force has now won this event seven out of the last eight years. According to Sarver he got out about 200 feet and he thinks he threw the clutch of his racer.
