These guys are really impatient today... I can't remember when we've seen so many redlights in Comp. eliminator. Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---(+/-)-Rd-Qua-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---(+/-) 4 Larry Pritchett 8.289 -0.531 Q 20 Alan Christeson 7.294 -0.366 D/SM Index: 8.82 B/ED Index: 7.66 *****WINNER***** 0.745 8.285 -0.535 E1 0.000 (Broke) No chance for a redlight here, Christeson breaking on the burnout and the Safari guys pushes him back to the staging lanes. Pritchett goes ahead and takes a CIC, anyway, proving what a good sport he is.

Regardless, he left the door open.
