POMONA, Calif. - Results of round 3 eliminations in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, 44th annual Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals:

3:42 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 82 degrees, relative humidity 22 percent, barometer 28.92 inches, adjusted altitude 3,015 feet, track temperature 94 degrees.

Rivas gets around Treble to earn a trip to the title round. That will have to do since he is out of the championship race.

    7 Eddie Krawiec                           2 Andrew Hines                 
E3   ****WINNER****  0.361  7.098 183.89                     0.007  7.609 168.79

Hines was ahead a the hit by almost four tenths of a second but some thing happened to his bike and Krawiec takes win win...Oh, and the Motorcycle Championship. Rivas is not in position to set an ET record for bikes and I believe he's 25 points behind. Whew, like is wearing out my feeble mind! Rivas has lane choice in the final.
