(LEFT) The first pair out of the staging lanes featured the #4 qualifier, Donnie Massey in his familiar "Showtime" AA/FA (far lane), matched up against Illinois' Brian Inouye in the "Frantic Fueler" AA/FD. Unfortuntely for Inouye, he was way too frantic on the lights, leaving -.232 early and wasting his best run of the weekend, a very strong 3.739 at an early shutoff 180.53. Taking full advantage of the gift win was Massey, who left hard and coasted from the 300' mark to the finish line, stopping the clocks with a 4.282 - 127.91 showing on the scoreboard.
