Bobby Marriott

Bobby Marriott and Doyle Smith brought their nitro burners to the line but Smith encountered mechanical problems and was forced to shut off. Meanwhile, Marriott blasted to his best pass of the weekend with a 4.11 at 177 mph in "Shockwave" to earn the round win, but didn't quite have the performance to earn a spot in the semifinals as they continued to fine tune a new fuel system.

Donnie Massey

With one pair in the water box, Donnie Massey and Jeff Woolard brought their machines to life. Massey had to not only win the round, but run quicker than Buchanan's 4.111 to earn a spot in the semis. This one was over from the flash of amber as Massey blasted off the line first and never trailed, posting a strong 3.99 at 182 to boot top qualifier Buchanan from the semis. Massey, Jones, Brian and Bowman were semi-final round bound at Mo-Kan.
