6:22 p.m. This is a great matchup, two of the bet in the country.

Wright squeezed the tree just a bit too hard and Gulitti gets a pass to the semifinals.

Another great matchup. Mohana had a tiny edge at the green, took two thousandths too much stripe. Crisp advances to the semifinals.

Looks like a family outing...Scooter was slower off the line, then got crossed up and had to pedal it to get straightened out. Kevin made a clean run and will race Gulitti in the semifinals.

James had a good light, but Wilson was even better. Looked like neither driver wanted to take the stripe, Wilson did and will race Crisp in the semifinals.
