(LEFT) After the traditional invocation by the Racers for Christ chaplain, the Canadian and American national anthems were played in front of a large audience.
(RIGHT) Standing ready to race, the Josh Hart team awaited the signal to start their engine as the national anthems played out. With the best atmospheric and track conditions of the weekend, including 66 (F) degree track temp, 70 (F) air temp and a corrected altitude of less than 1500 feet, the crew chiefs were literally salivating at the prospect of awesome performance conditions.

(LEFT) Qualifying closest together, #7 Antron Brown (far lane) faced off against #8 Josh Hart (near lane) to begin eliminations. They qualified just two thousandths apart and were just three thousandths apart in this round. Hart left first by a hundredth of a second and that was pretty much the margin at the finish line. Brown made his best pass of the weekend at 3.745 - 330.07, but it was quite enough to catch Hart's 3.742 - 328.94 effort. Hart's quickest e.t. of the event came in handy when it really counted.
(RIGHT) Next up was Clay Millican in the Parts Plus car and he laid down a solid burnout to get things warmed up.

(LEFT) Another closely matched pair featured local favourite Shawn Reed in the far lane, and Tennessean Clay Millican (near lane). Both drivers laid down their best passes of the weekend but the quicker reaction time (.079 to .095) for Millican was the decisive factor. Reed's excellent 3.726 - 328.70 wasn't quick enough to hold off Millican's much improved 3.713 - 334.48 that advanced him to the second round.
(RIGHT) The third pairing included two racers fighting to stay in contention in the points standings, and especially so for Brittany Force (far lane), after she skipped the Norwalk event and jeopardized her position in the battle to be in the Countdown to the Championship. Her opponent in the near lane, Tony Schumacher was solidly in the Top Ten but came into eliminations from the #12 position, as opposed to Force's #3 qualifying slot. Schumacher had to pedal early but recovered to post a 3.986 - 326.00 that proved to be enough to get past Force, as she lost power early and coasted to a losing 4.271 - 193.21 timeslip.
