Geoff Goodwin from Alberta was out with a new driver (Ken Webster) in the Synoil Chevy. Sean Obannon ripped off a couple 5.60's. Though that team lost their sponsor.

Justin Davis ran mid 5's clicking off @ 1000 feet. Mack McCord's Fuel Altered

Courtney Force

Courtney and team owner Jerry Darien. John Force converses

What a great way to spend a Saturday. Jerry Darien had to be happy with 5.30's Saturday. I am guessing he was at 94%
