Right Lane: Keith Freeman Runs 7.677/171.16, Now #23; Best prior run: 7.511/182.62, Was #23

Right Lane: Antron Brown Runs 7.625/152.47, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.383/175.39, Was #17

Brown was on a decent pass until just before half-track, then it sounded like the transmission malfunctioned, the engine on the limiter all the way through the lights.

Left Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 7.406/178.99, Now #18; Best prior run: 7.450/179.30, Was #19
Right Lane: Steve Johnson Runs 7.428/177.21, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.380/178.99, Was #16

Hale makes a move but not enough to get him in the show. No help for Johnson and he stays on the bump.
