Lummus clinched the championship in round two - Eggum wants bragging rights for the event title... A small staging duel ensues, Eggum stages first followed closely by Lummus, Eggum then managed to drive by Lummus at the top end of the track.

Lummus's reaction time puts him in a tie with Justin Humphreys for 2,250 dollars of Idemitsu reaction time challenge bucks - unless someone betters their .004 time.
