The semi finals in Drag Radial would come down to Steve Fereday against Steve Turley. Fereday had been averaging over a half second faster run then Turley all weekend. The result was much of the same. Fereday won against Turley with a 7.600 @ 188.15 to loosing 8.369 @ 140.50. This was Fereday's best pass.
What happened in the end was a blown head gasket. I have rarely seen a team thrash so hard to get to the finals. A crew of about 6 people were running around, trying to get ready to face defending champion Tom Kempf (who had a bye) in the finals.
