33 Jeff Craig 8 Bob Newberry
E2 0.093 5.694 253.80 ****WINNER**** 0.102 5.648 253.66
Prior rounds:
E1 (J Payne ) 0.029 5.813 252.76 (P Lee ) 0.111 5.592 256.21
Qualified: #6 5.741 251.86 #2 5.638 254.42
Craig had a very small starting line advantage, but Newberry had too much for him and, just
like Houston, will face long-time Division 1 rival Manzo in the final round, Manzo with lane
choice. Craig did all he could, running his best lap of the weekend, but "Newb" hasn't made a
bad run yet this weekend.
