2:36 pm. These two cars are the only in the .30s so far this weekend. This should be a very good race. Severance had some blower problems in the last round, Gingles black tracked the race track with so much power.

Gingles know he needs to be great on the tree, but he is a little too early. Severance makes another great run to head into the finals.

Gord Gingles' incremental times: 60ft-0.827 sec., 330ft-2.514, 660ft-3.641/222.80 mph, 1,000ft-4.594.
