Brad Thomson in the Thompson & Bless car from nearby Visilia. Thompson would have the quickest time in testing with a 5.64 and this was his first outing with the Hoosier tires. On hand for support was Robert Perryman, the West Coast rep for Hoosier Tires. His big rig was loaded with the new hides.

Adam Sorokin in the RB Entertainment flyer was battling tire shake on the two runs that they made. The car did run 3.91 to half track and that was encouraging. Sorokin feels, "The Hoosier has promise, for sure". The team is confident they will figuring their stuff out and the car will run strong this year.
