truck was slow off the start, just 1.141 to the 60-foot timers.

*****WINNER***** 0.454 7.529 179.59 E1 0.418 7.598 178.26
Perin will need to chop the tree down to have a chance. The driver did a good
job, the motor just didn't have enough horsepower to get past the Jegs machine.
Mike will race Patterson next round.
