#32 Harold Johansen in V4/Gas Modified Roadster was unable to complete a timed mile. It sure looked good sitting in line, tho. |

#485 Don Nuss running A/Fuel Streamliner made multiple runs but did not run to the timing traps - turning out early each time - looks like a work in progress with lots of potential. |
