Kelly Bettes is turning the boost up on the Jett Racing Pro Mod Mustang, Bettes went 6.02 with chutes out early, and it sets up an epic clash with the current 400 Thunder Top Fuel Champion against the current Pro Slammer Champion in Paul Mouhayet. Speaking of Mouhayet, the Moits Mustang was on on rails still with a 5.65 and 5.64 also in testing last night.

Joe Signorelli has returned to form with the GAS Racing Celica back with a 6.28.
