The third and fourth runs are tomorrow morning at 5 AM CT, although they may show them on NBC on delay tomorrow night like they're doing with first/second runs tonight.

23rd fastest heat (of 30) in round 3, and they break 50 seconds for the first time. But they remain in 25th overall (and at this point, they likely can only move 1 or 2 spots either way after the 4th and final heat). They also are 3rd among the 3 American teams.
I watched their heat live for the first time. They seemed fine at the start but it got a bit choppy midway through the run and that cost them valuable time. You can't be banging around side to side, especially when you're going so fast in such a short, overall race.
I think only .15 tenth of a second separates the top 5 teams heading into the final heat.

Apparently they only have the top 20 teams allowed to compete in the 4th run? Doesn't look like Sam's team made the cut.
I think they'll do better in the 4 man competition, although the lead guy is the same guy as in the 2 man competition. Stay away from the edges!
