| Dialing for Dollars: We have to report this one because it has to be the tightest spread between the winner and the almost winner in our Dialing for Dollars. This week it was Debbie Kelly and Lance Fulgham in the numbers game. Dialing for Dollars is usually decided by closest to the dial. If there is a tie there, then it goes to reaction time. When all the numbers were in, Lance had run 5.9833 on a 5.98 dial with a .0377 RT. Debbie's lap came in at 7.9533 on a 7.95 dial with a .0370 RT and the win on RT by .0007. |

A. J. Enterprizes Top ET: Stu West pulled all the way from New Braunfels to race with us this weekend. his win in Top ET will sure help pay for the trip. Stu cut a .005 light in the final - the best final round RT of the night- and ran 6.17 on a 6.15 dial for the win. Stu's Malibu must have been happy to be back in Abilene - the car stayed dialed at 6.15 all night long. William Sneed of Doole runnered up with a tiny breakout of 6.468 on a 6.47 dial and a .050 reaction time. |

Pinnacle Countertop Solutions Modified ET: Sambo Tyra logs yet another Winner's Circle appearance, this week in Modified ET. Sambo and Dale Brewer lined up for the final round and it was pretty much Sambo all the way. A .032 RT and a 6.90 on a 6.86 dial got the win. Dale ran a closer 6.81 on a 6.79 but hie .113 reaction gave Sambo too much room at the stripe. |

| Longmire Plumbing Jr. Dragster: Whitley Bettis of De Leon and Drew Bracey of Lubbock are both regulars in the Winner's Circle here. This week it'll be Whitley doing the "girls rule" thing after she took the win from Drew in a double breakout final. Whitley had a .080 reaction time and clocked 7.94 under a 7.97 dial. Drew must have been having issues with the dragster - his .159 RT didn't help, and the super breakout 8.05 on the 8.30 dial had us double checking the finals printout. |

| Rhino Linings of Abilene All Class Quick: Bryan Bennett of Shallowater met up with Melvin's Joanna Tinsley in the All Class Quick final round. Bryan had the numbers, hitting .018 on the tree and running 4.824 on a 4.82 dial for the win. Joanna had a decent .026 light, but the dragster got there too quick, breaking out with a 4.98 under her 5.01 dial. |

| TSTC West Texas Pro Footbrake: They made fun of his color choices and laughed at his K-Mart driving shoes, but in the end the shoes got it done and Chris Kelly of Merkel took the win in Pro Footbrake. Jay Campbell, also from Merkel, had to settle for runner up this week. It was close at the stripe, with the Falcon taking the win by only .005. The lap numbers came in with Chris hitting a .047 RT and running 7.364 on a 7.34 dial and Jay with a .053 RT and a 6.11 on a 6.09. Chris was looking to collect anyway - these two met up in the first round of Modified and Jay sent Chris to the buy back shack that round. |
