Horner's car launched but started to drift toward the center line at mid track. He backed off the throttle to straighten the car out
and keep from crossing over. Moeser had some tire shake during this run. Left Lane: Kara Stricker Runs 7.095/170.51, Now #2 Right Lane: Mike Burns Runs 10.758/73.43, Now #4 Both drivers launched and both cars started to swing the rear ends around at about 330 feet. Both drivers tried to pedal but eventually just backed off the throttle and coasted the rest of the way down the track. Left Lane: John Finke Runs 5.664/258.37, Now #1 Right Lane: Mike Kosky Runs 8.680/132.46, Now #5 Kosky's car launched, shook the rear tires and then never really got up to speed. Finke's car started to shake the rear tires at 330 feet but he drove through it to finish the run and move into the top spot in the order for now. Left Lane: Frank Schuster No Time, Now #1 Right Lane: Tom Fox Jr. No Time, Now #5 These two were about to start their cars when it started to rain again.
