Lindsey's 23 Ford was as ready as he was. Jim cut down the tree with a perfect light in the finals, against Ron's .014 reaction time. Austin had dialed 8.86 with his '48 Fiat, but in order to make up the fourteen thousandths reaction-time disadvantage, he was forced to break out by a mere .003. Unfortunately, the clocks do not care if it was a little or if it was a lot. the too quick 8.857 sealed his fate and Lindsey took the first win of the series.
