   1 Jim Yates           6.850 201.22  Q   16 Mark Pawuk          6.879 200.50
 *****WINNER***** 0.480  6.838 201.01  E1                  0.462  6.890 200.23

Well, that's the first round. The record may be the thing that stops Yates as this track sits at about 900 feet even without correction. That's the stopper. If you can set the record here me hats off to the gentleman.
