Right Lane: Katie Sullivan Runs 7.146/183.54, Now #13; No Prior Run

Scotty Pollacheck is now on the bump spot at 7.273. Both riders made their best runs of the weekend, Sullivan's might hold up, MacLaurin's probably won't.

Right Lane: Freddie Camarena Runs 7.142/185.23, Now #13; No Prior Run

---

Left Lane: David Hope Runs 7.098/182.97, Now #14; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Matt Guidera Runs 7.002/188.54, Now #13; No Prior Run

Weather conditions: air temperature 73 degrees, relative humidity 21 percent, barometer 29.02 inches, adjusted altitude 2,311 feet, track temperature 92 degrees.

Both got in, but the numbers are a little disappointing.

---

Left Lane: Steve Johnson Runs 7.032/187.65, Now #12; Best prior run: 6.996/188.57, Was #12
Right Lane: Shawn Gann Runs 6.986/190.06, Now #11; Best prior run: 6.984/187.52, Was #11

Apparently conditions are not quite as good as they were yesterday - that's only the second six so far in this session.

---

Left Lane: Angie Smith Runs 7.208/178.52, Now #10; Best prior run: 6.968/187.03, Was #10
Right Lane: Matt Smith Runs 6.921/191.46, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.896/189.52, Was #4

Smith's bike was off the pace from the start. Smith made the quickest pass so far, not quite as quick as his run Thursday, but better than his run yesterday.

---

Left Lane: Karen Stoffer Runs 6.980/184.52, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.966/187.86, Was #9
Right Lane: Jim Underdahl Runs 6.894/194.86, Now #4; Best prior run: 6.938/190.38, Was #5

Right Lane: Andrew Hines Runs 6.935/190.65, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.874/193.24, Was #3

Tonglet had a bad run and won't get any bonus points, but Hines made the third-quickest run of the session and might earn one more point.

---

Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec Runs 6.905/192.60, Now #1; Best prior run: 6.865/194.21, Was #1
Right Lane: Hector Arana Runs 6.883/192.96, Now #2; Best prior run: 6.870/194.35, Was #2

Both riders were quicker than Hines, so the points gap between the two championship contenders stays at 37.
