RACE NOTES
FRIDAY: After severe weather delayed most on-water action, Andrew Tate in the U-9 Delta/Realtrac grabbed the top qualifying spot with a 158.626 MPH lap in his second qualifying run. Jimmy Shane in the U-1 Miss HomeStreet was second after fuel flow volations negated his first run. Tom Thompson in the U-11 Reliable Diamond Tools presents J&D's collected 70 points for third and Dustin Echols' U-440 MAC Truck Repair was the final qualifier. Brian Perkins' U-21 Payne West Insurance had sponson damage, Cal Phipps' U-27 Chase Building Group did not start and Aaron Salmon's U-99.9 CARSTAR powers Miss Rock did not leave the trailer.

SATURDAY: Heat 1A saw the U-440 MAC Truck Repair & Towing hydro shed its rear wing in turn one prior to the start, bringing out a red flag. On the restart, the U-1 Miss HomeStreet with Jimmy Shane was leading Brian Perkins' U-21 Payne West Insurance and the U-12 Graham Trucking of J. Michael Kelly when Perkins' rudder sheared off, sending him hard into the infield. Perkins was shaken but not seriously injured. In Heat 1B, Tom Thompson in the U-11 DiJulio presents J&D's got the jump at the start from Andrew Tate's U-9 Les Schwab Tires, and Jimmy King in the U-3 Griggs presents ACE Hardware, but Tate ran away at the end. King finished second and Greg Hopp in the U-99.9 CARSTAR/Miss Rock finished third. Thompson was DSQ'd with fuel violations.
Heat 2A Had Kelly finishing first, with Thompson and King finishing second and third respectively. Heat 2B saw Shane and Tate battling deck to deck for four laps, with Shane taking the win by 1.2 seconds. Hopp followed in third half a lap later.

SUNDAY: Heat 3 A was a carbon copy of Heat 1B, with Thompson's U-11 out in front of Tate's U-9 for two laps before Tate won the heat. King follwed in third, with Hopp fourth. Heat 3B was over before it started when J. Michael Kelly encroached on Jimmy Shane prior to the start. Shane won, Kelly was second and Dustin Echols spun in Lap 2.
