A good and bad night in Saskatoon for local chuckwagon drivers.

High River's Jordie Fike is about a second off the pace in ninth spot after the first night of racing.

Right behind him in 12th is High River's Jason Glass.

However, both Okotoks Mark and Dayton Sutherland knocked themselves out of the running early as both hit barrels in their heats, costing them five seconds.

Vern Nolin, Cliff Cunningham, Roger Moore and Kurt Bensmiller are the top four heading into night two Friday, June 9.
