Force gets 84th NHRA victory

Sunday, May 7, 2000 | 2:31 a.m.

Force covered a quarter-mile in 4.929 seconds at 289.14 mph to defeat Ron Capps in the final round for the second straight event. Capps' pass of 5.023 at 291.70 wasn't fast enough to beat the nine-time series champion.

Gary Scelzi, Jeg Coughlin, Angelle Seeling and Randy Daniels also were also in their divisions at the $1.7 million event, the seventh of 23 this season.

Scelzi won for the second time this year in Top Fuel. His elapsed time was 4.629 at 310.70. He beat points leader Tony Schumacher, who went 307.44 with an ET of 4.697 .

Coughlin continued his season of dominance, winning for the sixth time in Pro Stock. His pass of 6.957 at 198.12 was more than enough to hold off Bruce Allen, who went 7.099 at 199.85.

Seeling won her second straight Pro Stock Motorcycle final when her opponent, Dave Schultz, left the line early and fouled.

Daniels won for the fourth time this year in Pro Stock Truck, turning a 7.661 at 177.93 to defeat Bob Panella.
