Todd Moyer is number one. Field not filled, no bump spot.

Murillo has issues off the line and clicks it early.

Gonzales sits in the beams for over six seconds and then thunders down the track into the new top spot. The car uses a lot of track, moving back and forth in the lane.

Jose Gonzales' incremental times: 60ft-0.993 sec., 330ft-2.683.

---

Right Lane: Todd Moyer Runs 3.890/201.10, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.913/201.01, Was #2

Moyer lines up in Gonzales' tire tracks and shows how it should be done. It's not quite as strong in 60 feet, but stays straight and true to recapture the final top spot. Nice pass!

Todd Moyer's incremental times: 60ft-1.019 sec., 330ft-2.656.
