RACE NOTES
FRIDAY:

Rookie Andrew Tate in the U-9 Delta/Realtrac grabbed the top qualifying spot with a 160.972 MPH lap. Jimmy Shane in the U-1 Miss HomeStreet gathered in second place with a 159.900 MPH lap, with J. Michael Kelly in the U-5 Graham Trucking in third place at 158.061 MPH.
SATURDAY:

HEAT 1A Kevin Eacret in the U-99.9 Miss Rock grabbed a surprise win over Shane, Kelly and Tom Thompson's U-11 Peters & May who all jumped the gun. Unfortunately, it was Eacret's lone heat of racing on the weekend, as the only engine they had tightened up and they withdrew to save further damage.
HEAT 1B Andrew Tate started off an almost perfect weekend with the first of three heat wins over Brian Perkins' U-21 All Access Equipment, Jeff Bernard in the U-7 Graham Trucking and Cal Phipps' U-27 Dalton Industries. Phipps DNF'd after getting washed down before the start.
SUNDAY:

HEAT 2A Tate once again grabbed first place over J. Michael Kelly, Tom Thompson and Cal Phipps. Phipps once more ran into trouble - this time with flagrant N2 and fuel flow fouls and earned a DSQ.
HEAT 2B Jimmy Shane had a relatively easy run to victory over Jeff Bernard and Brian Perkins.
HEAT 3A Andrew Tate once more lead the field home, with Jimmy Shane second and J. Michael Kelly third.
HEAT 3B Perkins and Thompson battled the entire heat, but both jumped the gun, leaving Bernard to collect the win. Thompson gathered no points after violations were discovered in the tech truck.
FINAL HEAT: During scoreup, Tom Thompson ingested salt water in a scrum on the backstretch. At the start, Bernard jumped the gun trying to leapfrog a very slow rest of the field. Kelly lead Shane & Tate around the first turn, but Shane started to pull away slightly on the backstretch. Brian Perkins turned sharply left into a roostertail at the entrance to turn 2 on the first lap due to a broken rudder bracket. He soon retired with engine trouble. J. Michael Kelly slid wide into Jimmy Shane's roostertail in turn 1 of lap 2, shearing off the saltwater snorkel and right upright. He turned slowly left into the infield, but recovered to continue at full speed. Shane took the HomeStreet Bank San Diego Bayfair win and the 2016 HI High Points Championship with Tate 2nd, Kelly 3rd, Thompson 4th and Bernard 5th.
