It's another one in the books.

I will have the ladder posted later today.

Congrats to John Flores and team on their win and to Griswald for his runner up last night.

My view from the cheap seats.

First round (from the best of my knowledge)

Al Collard gets a bye into the second round.

John Flores and Chad backer square off. Flores takes the right lane, it looks to be a bit tighter. Chad had some wheel spin on the hit and John motors on for a win.

Here is the match up for bragging rights... Ralph agiast the King. The King is known for his hole shot driving abilities and he looked ready to strap one on ol Ralphy...
Lights come down and it looked like ralph had the advantage. Ralph gets loose around 500' and has to lift. The score board shines The king 5.77 and Ralph 5.79. Ralph gets the old man on a hole shot. I wonder how long Ralph will hold that over his head? I think the lights were like .407 to .432.

Next pair up is Jason Rearick and Griswald. This was a close one, Griswald takes the win. I think Jason had some issues and slowed up on this pass.

Last pair up is Brad Dinkel and Darryl Holt in the Wild Thing. Brad takes the right lane and and pulls out a win over the Wild Thing.

Next Round

First pair out puts Flores against Collard. Al gives the win to Flores at the hit when he goes red.

Next pair in the lanes were Brad and Griswald. This one had the makings of a great race. They both stage up and are on the converters for what seemed like an hour or two till the tree finally came down. I think Brad got tired of waiting for the yellow and let off the brake giving Griswald the win. Brad's light was pretty red.

Ralph gets a bye for this round and just breaks the beams.

Next Round

Flores and Howard get paired for this round. Flores takes the right lane and we have a race on this one, Howard is out first and is on one helluva pass when he lost traction around 500' and crossed the center line giving Flores the win. Ralph, if you want to chase cones, you should really take up SCCA racing.

Griswald gets a bye to the finals..

Finals.

Flores has the right lane, Griswald really wanted the right lane, but Flores took it at the start.
Lights come down and they are off, Flores goes out like a rocket and Griswald leaves wheels way up and when 2 comes on the back tires want no more, the car made a hard move right and he had to pedal and drive it. I think Griswald was going to finish Nascar style and draft off of John going down track. It was a great save by Clark, he had his hands full with the sudden lane change.

Congrats to all, no one last paint and we all walked away.

Thanks to Al, Dana, Darryl and Mike for making the pull from Houston. Oh and Al, when are you gonna make her an honest woman. ;)
