No hole shot here as they leave within .0001 of each other but TQ KStocks is on a mission and slowly pulls away down the track running his best time of the day

This is by far the best race of round one as the Chevy makes a charge to the 60' mark with a .02 lead and
pulls away slightly to the 330 but then the Skyline starts to make a charge closing the gap finishing just
.0069 behind as it ran out of track. The Chevy takes it .6032 22.58 to .6061 24.09 great race.
