9:53 a.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 68 degrees, relative humidity 25 percent, barometer 28.91 inches, adjusted altitude 2,112 feet, track temperature 79 degrees.

Fordyce leaves hard with a big wheelstand and then has the car drive hard towards the wall as it came down. The Calais nails the wall and shoot back across the track, kicking the 330 reflector away, and finally stops close to the wall in the left lane.

Calvert was having his own problems and coasted to a stop on the track behind Fordyce. He will have to pushed off the track, after the rollback truck retrieves the Calais.
