1515: Kirby is in but is a little slower than usual. Chambliss sets a time of 1:11.33 with no penalties. Anyhow, that's enough for him to continue into the final four.
1512: Two gates had to be replaced so it took some time. Bonhomme has just finished his run and unlike the other pilots before him, he is clean and puts a time of 1:08.61.
1503: Matt Hall gets his run started off with a bang - literally! He hits the start/finish gate and just looks like he's not in control. He hits ANOTHER gate in the quadro and pulls out with an SCO.
1500: Hannes Arch enters, sets a time of 1:11.13 but gets two seconds for incorrect knife flying. A shame for the Austrian...
1456: Nigel Lamb enters the box but seems to have had a bad judgment and misses the quadro. He is subsequently DSQ. This guy can't seem to catch a break on the border...
1452: Mike Mangold comes in and gets a whopping six-seconds for touching a gate! It was such a small margin that he took and lost out...
1448: News from the airport comes in that Chambliss is cleared to fly in the Super Eight round after a possible infraction.
1446: Michael Goulian is up next and makes an SCO! He hits a pylon in the quadro with pieces of it attached to his tail. At least he ends his points drought...
1441: Sergey Rakhmanin just finished his run and boy did he make a mess! Two two-second penalties for flying too high and hitting the start/finish Breitling gate will definitely not get the Russian into the Final Four...
1431: Kirby Chambliss is up and wants to capitalize on his amazing time from yesterday. He comes up short and makes it a 1:10.11 with no penalties. This concludes the Top 12. The Super Eights will begin in about 10 minutes...
1428: Paul Bonhomme comes in and is hungry to beat Arch at his own game. He comes 0.09 of a second short and registers a 1:09.47.
1425: Nicolas Ivanoff is up but oh no! He makes two mistakes and registers a 1:14.45 for flying too high. He went through the quadro but pulled up appearing to SCO but didn't and continued, thus losing time here.
1423: Matt Hall is in but he's a little slow and makes it a 1:12.35 with no penalties.
1420: Hannes Arch is up and sets the fastest time of the day! a 1:09.38 with no penalties. The Austrian's a shoe-in to make the final four...
1418: Nigel Lamb is the next man up but makes an IKF. He would've been fastest but with two seconds added, he registers a 1:12.09
1415: Mike Mangold is up. He makes a clean flight with no penalties and is very disciplined. He posts a slightly slower time of 1:11.25
1413: Bostonian Michael Goulian takes to the track and puts in a disciplined run. He sets a reasonably fast time of 1:11.06 with no penalties. "Yeah baby" goes Goulian over the radio!
