In the opening round Mike Losser would match his qualifying number to the thousandth and would take down Brian Westphal in the process. Steve Battaglia sporting a brand new ride would take on Bob Krzemien who also made major cosmetic changes to his ride for 2010. Both rides were sluggish of the line leaving only a hundredth apart. On the top end Battaglia would just hold off Krzemien running a 8.88 to Krzemien"s 8.89. Glenn Stickels then took on Jon Busch who also has a beautiful brand new ride. Stickels took a big holeshot and then started spinning. Busch left soft but began running Stickels down in big fashion. Stickels was able to power back around Busch with both riders running an 8.643, Stickels at 177 and Busch at 168! Tight! Finally Matt Thomas put down the quickest pass of the round on his bye with an 8.19 at 173.
