Qualifying Did Not Qualify Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 (Final)
 
 
Round 1		  
  "Mad Mike" Molea won with a 6.918 at 195.69 after Dale Boomgaarden broke, posting only a 9.203 at 77.78.  
  Scott White's 6.802/206.23 wasn't enough to hold off Rich Roberts' 6.717/205.19.  Rich left first and the outcome wasn't in doubt, but it was a good side-by-side race.  
  Chris Abbey kicks a** with a terrific 6.655/210.42 single after Howard Anderson breaks on the burnout.  
  Mike Leonard runs a stout 6.903/200.40 but redlights, handing the win to Sean Renteria who posts a 6.928/191.97.  
 
Round 2		  
  Sean leaves on Rich, .025 to .097 and gets the holeshot win with a 6.811/208.71 to Rich's better 6.794/204.12.  
  Mike gets nervous and redlights, running a 7.458/176.81 to Sean's winning 6.735/192.67.  
 
Round 3 - Final		  
  The final features the #1 and #2 qualifiers.  This time, Chris takes a nap (.125 light) and runs a 6.806/206.84.  Sean (.060 light) runs quicker anyway, with a 6.789/206.94 for the win.

Congratulations to the Renteria family!
