Matt Smith has been to the final round 4 times at this event and his win here came in 2006. This is the first time Smith and Bostick have faced each other in eliminations. Two "Not So Good" lights, but still only 0.008 apart. Bostick stays in front until after the 6-0 foot lights, but can't match the pace of the stronger, Smith. Smith thunders on down the track on a clean pass and will keep lane choice over Stoffer in the next round. Matt Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.078 sec., 330ft-2.878, 660ft-4.415/159.31 mph, 1,000ft-5.751. Chris Bostick's incremental times: 60ft-1.060 sec., 330ft-2.897, 660ft-4.466/156.05 mph, 1,000ft-5.843. 1:09 p.m. |
