10:05 a.m. Gordon was unable to answer the staging call, so Martin got a free tuning pass for the semifinals.

Nice run, smoothly carrying the front wheels about 200 feet before gently putting them down.

 8784 Jarry Buck Jarvis                    132F Steve Drummond               
E1   ****WINNER****  0.106  4.285 188.07                     0.931 No Time

Drummond's Mustang is painted with what used to be called "Flip-Flop", so the car color changes depending on the angle you are viewing from.

Unfortunately, paint doesn't make the car run and he just sat there when the light turned green.

Jarvis faces Martin in the semifinals, Martin has lane choice.
