 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
        Bye                                 531 John Deflorian Jr.

11:19 a.m. Conditions now are the best we've seen all weekend, it's cooler and the cloud cover keeping the track from getting extremely hot.

This looked like a good run, but Deflorian shoved the clutch in well befor the stripe.

John Deflorian Jr.'s incremental times: 60ft-0.984 sec., 330ft-2.701.

There will be a Goforth in the final round and the senior Goforth (Dean) was the quicker of the two in the first round. No matter what, it will be an all-Sonny Leonard final round, his powerplants in all three of the semifinalists' cars.

Dean was a whole bulb late (on a Pro tree) and the race was over. Cary will have lane choice against Deflorian in the final round.
