2:26 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 87 degrees, relative humidity 38 percent, barometer 29.34 inches, adjusted altitude 2,935 feet.

These two qualified within a couple of thousandth of each other and are a classic blown alcohol and injected fuel match up. Brain fade, as Wayne leaves before the green. Lavoie runs it on through with another great time.

Bates has the Bye run and makes a great pass to take lane choice. He will meet his brother-in-law, Lavoie, in the final.
