Ok...here is the defeat for Erica!

Can Matt Smith be saved for Happy Wife..Happy life?
 

Yet another transmission issue?

I thought it was Fernando Cuadra turn to win...he got all the breaks. Don't know what problems she had, maybe she just got outrun? Fernando had a good car.

Rapid fire with John Force racing
 

John Force pictures of all 150 wins
 

Agree, she simply was outrun - both in ET and MPH, and while she had a slightly better R/T she was uncharacteristically slow with a .04X....and it was game over :(
