Force, Kalitta, Anderson, and Tonglet reign after the rain at Atlanta Dragway
Funny Car legend John Force pushed his NHRA record to 116 national event victories by winning the closest race of the weekend against his teammate and son-in-law Robert Hight under the lights of Atlanta Dragway. The Pro finals were run just after 10 p.m. following a trying day of rain delays. Force, who assumed the POWERade points lead with his win, was joined in the winner's circle by Top Fuel leader Doug Kalitta, Back-to-back Pro Stock champ Greg Anderson, and first-time Pro Stock Motorcycle leader GT Tonglet.
Force (pictured) reached the finish line just .0021-second ahead of Hight, the leading Rookie of the Year candidate in the series. Kalitta had no trouble with surprise finalist David Baca, who barely made it to the line for the trophy run. Anderson faced teammate Jason Line in Pro Stock and came away with his first win of the season, while Tonglet put a different Harley in the spotlight with a win over freshman Chris Rivas.
