It was 12:45 before the next pair rolled into the water, and the announcement was made that they would run out the SME lanes before they began the all-run session.
"We are going to be racing until four at this rate", Dale threw his hands up in disgust.
"Would you rather they just call everyone to the lanes who hasn't ran yet, then close the lanes?" I asked him with a smile.
"No, definitely not ready for that yet!"

Scott Abbott went 11.87-110 in his 70 Road Runner, and I fully expected him to come back and try to knock some tenths off of that, but it would be the time slip he turned in for Indy.

Directly after Scott, James Reeves and his black Omni GLH began the stream of cars in the left lane from the "Mopar Turbo Mafia" crew or as I refer to them the "angry four cylinder, front scratcher team". He was paired with the bright red 34 Ford of John Pfister, a car that had really started to get my attention. It features a 6/71 style blower that's topped with a single split Dominator, arranged to mimic an old four port Hilborn type set-up, and it had been in the ten teens all week. James would keep his 11.16-121 out of the wounded 2.5, but I knew the red coupe would be back when he carded 10.28. The red 87 Daytona Shelby of Jason Trotter followed in the Omni's tracks and ran a stout 10.87-138 that would keep him well within the Quick 32 ranks, and punch his ticket to Columbus.
