Seattle Derby - Seattle, WA
Heat Three
Norm Gibson, Bambi Rogers, Danny Krol, Phillip Ruffin, Jess Yates, Bobby Gallagher, Jamie Eilers, Scott Hutchins, Jason Ingle, Steven Redden, Will Thompson, Ben Hadsell
The three heats combined in Seattle have had one elimination inside the first five minutes as the final heat surpasses seven minutes before the first driver drops out. On this occasion the first out is Phillip Ruffin who was banged up pretty badly by Danny Krol as he tried to hunt down Jess Yates.
Steven Redden and Ben Hadsell were next out with Redden garnering attention from many of his opponents and Hadsell taking a savage beating at the hands of Will Thompson. After dealing with Ruffin Danny Krol was soon out in ninth position despite only taking one hit from Jess Yates; the damage mostly caused by himself.
Bambi Rogers is one of nine drivers yet to reach a final this season and that does not change in Seattle as she takes blindside hits from Krol and Bobby Gallagher as she shared the majority of her hits with Gallagher and Norm Gibson who finished in seventh. He was happy to exchange hits with Rogers but it was Gallagher who finished him off.
The first six drivers were all eliminated in quick succession but the remaining pack kept going for another four minutes before Jess Yates lost his long running feud with Gallagher before he too was evicted by a combination of Thompson and Jason Ingle.
Jamie Eilers had to re-fire his engine twice before he went for Scott Hutchins in a big way while Will Thompson went hard at him to end his race in fourth position. As with the first six eliminations the second six were all done in short order continuing with Jason Ingle in third place to reach his third final of the year, Hutchins working him over throughout the heat, and there would be a tie for the heat win between Hutchins and Thompson.
