Likewise in reverse with this pairing of Calvin Hill in the I/AA (8.66) and the A/ND of Brian Darcy (7.42). Darcy's the one who needed to make up a deficit on the index but he flat misses the tree and it shows here.

Pat Ross in the far lane F/A (8.56) had the light and the index covered over Kevin Robb in the B/SR (8.34).
Chris Wentzel in the A/EA (7.83) is way out there on Ronnie Boyd in the A/ED (7.16) because Wentzel was .116.

Mike Miscovsky in the C/DA (7.55) goes wheels-up and just gets around the B/T (8.70) of Scott Benham.
That's Al Ackerman in the far-lane F/D (8.58) turning a huge advantage on the 'Tree into a win over the F/A (8.56) of Carl Miller.
Dave Hughes in the far-lane A/A (7.06) went .081 to give the win to Tony Mangrum in the A/A. Mangrum was great on the 'Tree with a .009.

 

Tom Ekroth in the far-lane C/A (7.93) went .001 against the D/ED (7.91) of Ray Vierheller. Ray out-qualified Tom by a bunch, so Tom had to give it a shot.
Stu Sandhaus in the A/ND (7.42) just went .021 against Chip Ippolito here.
I imagine it was another case of knowing the car in the other lane out-qualified you by a bunch so you had to go for it.
Kevin Houghtaling
Kevin's way out there despite taking it easy on the 'Tree against the A/EA of Todd Logan who qualified above the index.
Richard Schonberger tries to keep Arnie Martel from catching him, but Martel gets there first no problem.
