        Fall Nationals presented by Castrol Syntec listing lane, driver name,
        elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run: 
      Left Lane: Michael Faucher  Runs 10.736/80.69, Now #2
     Right Lane: Zach Barklage    Runs 6.629/214.64, Now #1
2:09 PM The temperature is 70 degrees, the humidity is 57 percent, the barometer is 30.12 and the track temp is 97 degrees.

Faucher starts shaking the tires right off the line, tries to drive through it but finally gives up about 400 feet out. Barklage shook the tires, skated around a bit but never lifted.
      Left Lane: Wayne Torkelson  Runs 9.321/96.51, Now #3
     Right Lane: Troy Critchley   Runs 6.367/220.42, Now #1
Torkelson gets loose off the line, makes a move toward the wall, back to the right and gives up on the run. Critchley kept it in the groove and takes the early pole.
      Left Lane: Thomas Patterson No Time, Now #6
     Right Lane: Robert Smith     Runs 10.873/79.99, Now #5
Patterson does his burn-out and blows the motor. He gets out of the car and and waits for Smith to make his run. Smith comes off the line, gets out of the groove and gets the car up on two wheels. He makes a hard move toward the center-line and shuts down. We're down for a cleanup in the left lane.

The Safety Safari is using a different oil absorbent this race, Berryman GREEN STUFF® Absorbent.
      Left Lane: Rickie Smith     Runs 6.417/219.51, Now #2
     Right Lane: Randy Hagerty    Runs 6.676/207.99, Now #4
2:46 PM and we're back after a fifteen minute cleanup. The wait didn't seem to hurt Smith, he goes right down the groove and gets in the second spot for now.
      Left Lane: Mike Ashley      Runs 6.464/222.93, Now #3
     Right Lane: Marty McGinnis   Runs 6.501/218.02, Now #4
Ashley has announced that he has retained a sponsor through 2003, Infinet Insurance & Financial Network. He does a great job of driving on this pass, moving to the left, then the right and back again.
      Left Lane: Chuck Nuytten    Runs 7.135/191.53, Now #8
     Right Lane: Billy Harper     Runs 6.481/188.52, Now #4
Nuytten was out of shape all the way through the run and puts out blue smoke as he goes through the lights. Harper makes a clean pass and gets into the field for now.
      Left Lane: Bill Kuhlmann    Runs 7.334/134.54, Now #10
     Right Lane: Bill Hill        Runs 7.223/146.34, Now #9
Kuhlmann gets out of the groove, starts moving around and finally gives up on the run. Hill was on a decent pass until about 700 feet, then a big flash came from under his car and shuts down.
      Left Lane: Annette Summer   Runs 7.538/154.40, Now #12
     Right Lane: Andy Neyer       Runs 6.455/222.44, Now #3
Summer gets about 100 feet out, shakes the tires and has to pedal. Neyer went right down the groove and gets in the show for now.
      Left Lane: Mitch Stott      Runs 6.261/228.71, Now #1
     Right Lane: Shannon Jenkins  Runs 6.303/222.99, Now #2
Two good looking runs, both right down the middle and they take the top two spots.
