 Qualified:             #1  6.815 195.17                        #2  6.847 195.05

4:40 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 88 degrees, relative humidity 30 percent, barometer 29.05 inches, adjusted altitude 3,413 feet, track temperature 121 degrees.

Hines is 3 - 1 against Tonglet in prior events and this is the first time they have faced each other in a final round.

Hines was looking for a "sweep" and a record one-race points total (because of bonus points for five rounds instead of four), but he had to settle for second place to the presumptive "Rookie of the Year." Tonglet left first by a hundredth, then extended his lead at every timing increment to win decisively.

LE Tonglet's incremental margins: 60ft(0.054), 330 ft(0.071), 660ft(0.083), 1,000ft(0.100). MOV: 0.1104 seconds (approximately 31 feet).
