These two made their best runs in the first session.

Hossler showed everybody who's #1, but the car with #1 on the side wasn't far behind. Even so, Hossler's rocket shot pushed Snyder one run down on the ladder. Nice runs!



Mick Snyder's incremental times: 60ft-0.943 sec., 330ft-2.500.
Alex Hossler's incremental times: 60ft-0.921 sec., 330ft-2.466.

Snider was just bumped off the top spot, where he'd been all day long.

Snider ran another 3.68, but failed to improve. Stanley made his best run of the day, moved up a couple spots, but won't have lane choice in round one.

Right Lane: Duane Rister Runs 3.829/194.58, Now #10; Best prior run: 3.788/198.23, Was #10
