6:10 p.m. Pro Nostalgia - the cars look like "the good old days," especially Kincaid's replica of "240 Gordie" Bonin's 1978 "Bubble-Up" Trans Am, complete with authentic decals Bonin dug out of his memorabilia.

Kincaid had a huge holeshot, but broke out, handing the win to Steckler.

Bonin is here, by the way, enjoying the whole deal.

Harris was a no-show and all Mageau had to do was stage the car to win. It took some help to get his car back after the burnout, but he was able to keep it running and met the requirement. He faces Steckler in the semifinals, tonight.
