6:49 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 63 degrees, relative humidity 45 percent, barometer 29.06 inches, adjusted altitude 1,478 feet, track temperature 71 degrees.

This is a great weekend for Bellemeur no matter what happens here in the final. At the beginning of the weekend he found out that his mother was declared cancer free by her doctors. Great weekend no matter what happens in his first ever national event final round. Payne has won many of these but he certainly knows he better not be late. Bellemeur's lights have been .035, .022 and .018. This time he catches another huge lead with his .010 light but the car got away and took out the 330 cone. Payne goes to the lead and takes the win by default. Bellemeur's numbers were 7.541/122.47 before I had to take them out.
