Black Stallion vs. Blue Thunder

 

Experience may have had something to do in this race, as in the turn the new guy George Balhan in Blue Thunder clipped a turning pole, receiving a course penalty which would inevitably give Mike Vaters the win in Black Stallion.

Grave Digger vs. American Guardian

 

From the get go, Anderson was full on the gas.  Dennis threw Grave Digger 19 from one end of the arena to the other time and time again on the ragged edge.  "Radical" Rick Raab wasn't going slow though, it was just that Dennis was going so fast.  With that Anderson was able to take the win in Grave Digger.
