Right Lane: Jay Diedrich Runs 4.217/184.52, Now #15; Best prior run: 5.859/105.65, Was #17

Nice run by Tindle, but Diedrich fell to the shakes.

Left Lane: Todd Martin Runs 3.688/205.98, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.682/66.62, Was #20
Right Lane: Clint Thompson Runs 3.766/200.57, Now #12; Best prior run: 3.803/202.27, Was #11

Nice side-by-side show as most seem to be getting the track figured out.

---

Left Lane: Mick Snyder Runs 3.598/209.95, Now #1; Best prior run: 3.627/208.78, Was #2
Right Lane: Art McMahan Runs 4.240/181.46, Now #17; Best prior run: 5.012/101.41, Was #17

McMahan picked up a bunch from the firsts ession, stayed outside the field. Snyder made the quickest run of the ADRL season, with a career-best ET.

Right Lane: Chris Russo No Time, Now #15; Best prior run: 3.868/200.68, Was #15

Russo broke on the burnout and had to be pushed off the track before \Taylor could make his run. Believe it or not, Tayor had to backpedal once, about 200 feet out, to get through tire shake.

---

Left Lane: Quain Stott No Time, Now #12; Best prior run: 3.757/203.12, Was #11
Right Lane: Terry Leggett Runs 3.694/208.36, Now #9; Best prior run: 6.143/74.53, Was #19

Stott's car hiccuped and died on the launch, stopping about 10 feet off the line. Leggett made a nice, strong run to get into the field. That puts Chris Russo on the bump spot at 3.868.

---

Right Lane: Neal Wantye Runs 3.706/201.04, Now #10; Best prior run: 3.839/200.80, Was #15
