In the Top fuel it is Antti Horto who is the absolute winner at the Dico International. Top Fuel ladder went down with a lot of surprises as in the first elimination run between Stig Neergaard and Mikåel Kagered went in the strangest way as Stig continuing driving to the finish line after his burn-out passing ¼ finals to Kagered which also encountered problems at the start. His car went in shut down, dropping the parachute within 60 ft range. Also Duncan Micallef left the ladder pretty early and the final race went between Antti Horto and Mikåel Kagered, and it is Antti Horto who won the race with a 3.998 second run.
