During breaks in the action some of the crew chiefs entertained themselves by making shadow puppets on the track. Pranksters.
Before Pro Stock Motorcycle, Johnny Gray and Eddie Krawiec engaged in an epic staring battle. It went on for so long Eddie missed the round.

I tried the same with Don Schumacher, but I think he was cheating under the sunglasses...

Steve Johnson pushes the bike into the lanes for 1st Round of Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Pro Stock, Round 1. This was a good one: Mark Martino in the near lane had a good .047 light, but typical for Vincent Nobile he had a great .014 light. Down the track Martino ran right with him, 6.615 to Vincent's winning 6.612.

Martino and Nobile are welded at the door handles
Shane Gray in the near lane and V. Gaines in the far. V. had the horsepower down the track for the quicker ET, but Gray holeshots him and gets there first anyway for the win.
