Right Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 7.940/167.43 Now #15, (Best prior run: 7.923/164.79 Was #15)

Nice pass by Mullen in the heat of the afternoon.

Right Lane: Craig Treble Runs 7.462/173.39 Now # 6, (Best prior run: 7.477/175.59 Was # 6)

Right Lane: Matt Hines Runs 7.319/182.80 Now # 2, (Best prior run: 7.391/182.43 Was # 3)

Matt steps up a bit, but can't match Smith's stunning first-round effort.

---

Left Lane: Angelle Seeling Runs 7.294/179.92 Now # 1, (Best prior run: 8.771/104.29 Was #19)
Right Lane: David Schultz Runs 7.443/175.96 Now # 6, (Best prior run: 11.107/ 73.20 Was #21)

A pair of nice runs here to get both of the front-runners up to the top of the heap. Angelle's bike was drifting to the right, toward the centerline, but she stayed with it to take over the pole position.

---

Left Lane: Rob Korn Runs 8.006/159.80 Now #19, (Best prior run: 23.814/ 24.71 Was #22)
Right Lane: C.J. Smith Runs 8.576/132.46 Now #21, (Best prior run: 9.110/ 99.52 Was #21)

Two huge improvements here, but still way short of the field.

---

Left Lane: Antron Brown Runs 7.385/182.21 Now # 4, (Best prior run: 7.351/181.25 Was # 4)
Right Lane: Greg Underdahl Runs 7.482/178.47 Now # 9, (No prior time)

Big speed for Brown, so there's a lot of power there.

---

Left Lane: Larry Cook Runs 7.432/177.09 Now # 5, (Best prior run: 7.458/173.96 Was # 7)
Right Lane: Brian Ayers Runs 7.589/173.40 Now #13, (Best prior run: 7.583/172.43 Was #13)

---

Right Lane: Gary Tonglet Runs 7.436/179.37 Now # 7, (No prior time)

The bump is now Ron Ayers' 7.654.

---

Right Lane: Reggie Cole Runs 13.520/ 52.40 Now #25, (No prior time)

Cole launched and it sounded like the shifter hung between second and third gear.

---

Left Lane: Connie Cohen Runs 12.141/ 64.53 Now #24, (Best prior run: 8.592/153.91 Was #24)

Cohen's Harley tried to go down the centerline and she abandoned the run.
