(-) John Fiorini '93 Saab 6.408 215.56 (-) Darrel Cox '96 Firebird 6.345 221.56
(-) Tim Slagle '96 Achieva 5.899 234.37 (-) Scott Weney '97 Firebird 5.973 232.37 Slage pulls the left front tire and drifts toward the centerline, but pulls it back for a nice run. Weney's run was straight and true.
(-) Chuck Cheeseman '98 Firebird 5.812 244.76 (-) Carnie Fryfogle '97 Pontiac 6.294 232.07 Both cars went straight downthe track, altough some debris came from Fryfogle's flopper at half-track.
(-) Paul Gill '96 Avenger (missed ET... 5.77?) (-) Tony Bartone '97 Firebird 5.815 248 With side-by-side burnouts that reach the 1/8th-mile, you can see the groove being laid into the track. Bartone's staged, waiting for Gill... and Bartone gets there first on a big holeshot.
(-) John Sieger '97 Achieva 9.821 86.50 (-) Frank Manzo '98 Avenger 5.899 213.87 Sieger's AutoSalvage backed entry gets *very* sideways on the burnout, but he saves it and gets stopped straight. Sieger starts to get squirrely at half-track. There was a small puff from Manzo's car just before the traps.
(-) (-) Ed Fisher '96 Firebird 6.226 228.83
