Nearly 40 riders thumbed their noses at the weather man and maid the trip to Byron
Dragway for a chance at the money and bragging rights for the weekend. Incredibly hot
and humid conditions made consistency a real challenge. When it was all said and
done, two perennial power houses made their way to the final round.

Marcus Taylor were up first. Sargis would give chase by only a few tenths to Taylor. With
only .002 between their RT's it would be up to running the number now to see who would
continue. Taylor would hold too much and breakout sending Sargis to the run off. Tom
Klemme and Tom Ewig were both a bit conservative on the tree but also had trouble with
their dial ins. The weather again threw a curve changing and both riders broke out by a
bunch with Klemme breaking out by .04 to Ewig's .06.
