Left Lane: Andrew Hines Runs 7.631/137.55, Now #27; Best prior run: 7.703/132.24, Was #27 It sounded as if Hines had some trouble shifting from second to third gear.

Miceli drifted to the right and rode near the wall for a couple hundred feet before getting back to the center of the lane. Freeman looked smoother but did not have the speed he needed. Left Lane: Lloyd Straus Runs 7.344/183.17, Now #22; Best prior run: 7.347/182.60, Was #23 Right Lane: Gary Tonglet Runs 7.388/184.42, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.344/184.02, Was #21 Both rides looked okay but neither was quick enough to make the field. Left Lane: Fred Camarena Runs 7.222/180.65, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.269/185.74, Was #18 Right Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 9.862/89.19, Now #20; Best prior run: 7.297/180.50, Was #20 DeSantis spun the tire at the start and then, when the tire finally bit into the track, the front wheel of his bike went up into the air. Camarena beat his first session time by 47 thousandths of second and made it into the field. He's on the bubble now with a bump time of 7.222 seconds. Left Lane: Sam Hurwitz Runs 7.271/182.26, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.220/186.43, Was #15 Right Lane: Chris Reuter Runs 7.207/190.73, Now #14; Best prior run: 7.278/183.07, Was #19 Reuter had a clean run and bumped Camarena from the field.

The only riders left to qualify in this round are already in the field so Grimes will remain on the bubble at least until the start of the next round. Treble ran straight down the middle of the track and moved up four spots in the qualifying order. Right Lane: Angelle Savoie Runs 7.127/186.98, Now #6; Best prior run: 7.148/186.30, Was #9 Savoie had a clean run down the middle of the track and moved up three spots, back into the top half of the field.

Left Lane: GT Tonglet Runs 7.129/184.37, Now #5; Best prior run: 7.113/187.55, Was #5 Right Lane: Sean Conner Runs 7.200/186.07, Now #8; Best prior run: 7.131/185.46, Was #8 A pair of clean runs but neither rider beat his first session time.

His speed of 194.910 is the fastest ever recorded and will be a new national record if he can run at least 192.97 miles per hour later this weekend and if no one else goes faster and backs up their run.
