12:11 PM These two cars are among the nicest in Comp Eliminator, great paint jobs on both cars. We start with the traditional first pair redlight, Kennedy was lucky here, he spun the tires very hard at the start.

Freese got loose and moved around downtrack, but it didn't change the outcome. He wins by half a car length.

I guess you could call Snyder's entry a Pro Stock Altered, it sports a 500 cubic inch Pro Stock motor. He shook the tires really hard, the cup marks on the track clearly visable.

Gillette was a no show, parts breakage too great to continue.
