Katie
Justice is on the bump spot at 7.107.
Evaristo terrible weekend continues as the bike
struggles off the line and goes quiet before 100 feet. She stops on the track before the finish
line.
Phillips will not make the field either, as his bike is coasting early too.
Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec Runs 10.675/81.91, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.214/198.88, Was #17
Right Lane: Hector Arana Jr No Time, Now #14; Best prior run: 6.937/200.23, Was #14
Two broken runs.
Arana bike goes dead right after the tree and he stops on the track and is pushed back. He is already in the field in #14.
Krawiec's very bad weekend continues, as the bike struggles off the line and runs slowly down the track to miss the show. This is his 255th race, and his 10th DNQ. The last time was at the 2004 Atlanta race.
Left Lane: Katie Justice No Time, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.107/190.51, Was #16

Right Lane: Matt Smith Runs 6.751/202.64, Now #2; Best prior run: 6.719/202.70, Was #2
Family Affair!
Matt gets a much better RT and a big speed. He can't get his bike to stop on the top end and just noses a bike length into the sand trap. No big problems and he backs it back out and off the track.
Angie runs a tad quicker to stay #4.
Angie Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.062 sec., 330ft-2.838, 660ft-4.327/164.79 mph, 1,000ft-5.624.
