- John Cadzow had clutch issues on his one Test and Tune pass, running a 3.19@106mph. They had problems in their evening attempt, but should be ready for Sunday.
- Matt Ludlow & the Coldwater Kid Team debuted their new car with a nice 3.43/53mph 100’ blast. However, they had issues after firing for their evening pass and had to shut off. They also are ready for Sunday action.
