Bowdish is nursing a very slim points lead for the Division Six championship - he needs to get past Div. 7's Wade Edwards. We have a major staging duel - will they stage today? Finally they decide to race - and cut terrible lights. I'd like to hear the top end conversation with these two.....

Sigmon ended Lane's Division Six championship hopes with a better light and just enough performance.

Pessemier's dragster bogged badly when Mike dropped the clutch - he never had a chance to catch Jondahl after that.
