Bernhardt and Moratto take turns through the Chute at 100 apiece, each shedding a wear on the inside. Unfortunately, Claudio may have forgotten the abilities of his car - that plot is an over-brake and costs him a wear.

Marshall clears the Loop at 120 for free. MacDonald takes an RM plot of 120 (NPR #2: 1w penalty) and starts in the middle before getting pushed to the outside.
Koerber dives into the Loop 100's at 120 for a wear. Moore scrapes 2 wear as he hits the outer rail of the Loop at an irresponsible 180!*
