THis is Johnson's 15th Indy start, having made his first appearance here in 1987. Wow, Johnson should have waited for the next pair with a .630 light and Collis wins this one easily. clinching the deal with a .009 light that would have been hard to top.

 (L) Brian Schultz (Schultz Racing Suzuki)       -0.029(R)  7.343 181.45

 (L) Blaine Hale (Cornwell Tools Suzuki)         -0.010(R)  7.352 179.06

 (W) Reggie Showers (PDI Prosthetic Design Suzuki0.002      7.264 184.52
 (L) Angelle Savoie (US Army Suzuki)             0.057      7.251 184.62

 (L) GT Tonglet (Screamin' Eagle Harley)         -0.024(R)  7.251 189.34
With Willie G looking on Tonglet joins the rest of the red light bandits to eliminate the last Harley threat, wasting a better e.t. as did his teammate Hines. The first round set a record for the number of red lights in the professional categories and this series of runs will just add to the litany of wasted chances. Gann's 7.27 will give him lane choice against Brown while Showers will pick over Scali.

Showers was last off the line as both riders played it safe in the reaction time stakes but the George Bryce horsepower came into play and the PDI bike simply drove around the points leader. Reggie will have lane choice over Gann in the money run which could be worth an additional $10,000 to Showers with the double up bonus.
