| Was a tad warmish this weekend, in case you stayed hiding in the house. The high track temp caused the starting line getting gummed up, so a quick scrape was called for. The rains held off until the very last minute - we had the Top and Mod final in the lanes when it let loose and we called it done at about 10pm |

| Tire rubber comes off, tennis shoe rubber goes on. Track temp - 156F. Who needs a burnout. |
The summers are hot here, you just have to come prepared. Bring everything you might need for the heat - sunscreen, water, shelter, the pool... |

 |
| Top ET Gamblers: Jeremy Smith and Ty Casey were scheduled to face off in the Top final. They decided to just split the cash and go straight into adult relaxation mode. Looks like maybe Ty won something from Jeremy, but we're only speculating. |
 |
 |
| Modified Gamblers: Robert Schoemer and Robert Hector squared off in the Mod gamblers final, and sure enough Robert won - ah, Robert Schoemer won. Robert & Co. left the line about the same time, with Schoemer going .062 against the tree and Hector hitting a .065. But at the stripe, Hector had a fender on the Stealth Pontiac, was on the brakes and rode that brake to a break out 8.805 under an 8.85 dial. That was a tough break for Robert. Schoemer stayed on the right side of his dial, closing out with a 8.884 against his 8.87 dial. |
 |
 |
| Robert Schoemer and Dean Kennedy went up against each other in the Sunday Street Series event final. Both had great lights, with Dean getting a small advantage with a .027 to Robert's .029. But Dean's ride couldn't run the number and at the stripe it Robert with a 11.86 on an 11.81 dial to Dean's 10.99 over his 10.82 dial. |
