Gray's incremental times: 60ft-0.978 sec., 330ft-2.757, 660ft-4.242/166.13 mph, 1,000ft-5.521. Gray says the car spun the tires in first and second,

Left Lane: Larry Morgan Runs 6.629/208.71, Now #3 Right Lane: Rickie Jones Runs 10.961/80.81, Now #13 Jones shook and lifted, Morgan was skating around a bit too. He still matched the former track speed record... Left Lane: Kurt Johnson Runs 6.632/209.10, Now #4 Right Lane: Ron Krisher Runs 6.658/209.30, Now #7 KJ had a 0.990 60-foot time, but lost some ET somewhere along the way.

Left Lane: Greg Stanfield Runs 6.617/209.43, Now #3 Right Lane: Allen Johnson Runs 6.607/208.78, Now #2 Two very nice runs, Gray stays #1. Greg Stanfield's incremental times: 60ft-0.980 sec., 330ft-2.774,
660ft-4.261/166.15 mph, 1,000ft-5.540. Left Lane: Greg Anderson Runs 6.574/210.93, Now #1 Right Lane: Mike Edwards Runs 12.406/63.37, Now #19 Edwards shook and slowed. Anderson made an awesome run and retook both ends of the track record. Greg Anderson's
incremental times: 60ft-0.976 sec., 330ft-2.754, 660ft-4.232/167.03 mph, 1,000ft-5.503. Left Lane: Jason Line Runs 6.600/210.05, Now #3 Right Lane: Jeg Coughlin Runs 6.613/209.72, Now #5 Last pair. Two good runs, but Anderson and Gray are the only two in the fifties. However, the second session today should be even better, the track should be cooler and the air should be at least as good as it is right now. Anderson is #1 at 6.574 and Ron Krisher is on the 12-car bump spot at 6.658.
