The 10.50 Street Eliminator Class is quickly becoming very popular. I new comer to the class but by no means to racing, Mike Klemme would through old school down on this bunch on his KZ powered entry. Mikey would drop a 10.505 bomb on their heads and school was quickly in session.

In the semi final round Jake Manzke and Brent Merrick would pair off. Jake must have been dreaming of a juice pulled pork sandwich on the line. He unfortunately took a big nap leaving the door kicked open for Merrick to cruise to an easy win. Mike Klemme would the educate Rob Vick on how this whole index deal is done. Leave first and run the number. Sounds easy but...................Klemme would take an .04 hole shot and just keep the other big guy right on his heels right through the traps. Both ran 10.55 but Klemme wins the race on the tree.

In the final round, Brent Merrick went over his notes on Klemme and took it to him on the tree. Merrick leaves first with a .06 hole shot of his own. Now, let's see what O'l Mikey has up his sleeve for this one. Actually, he has nothing up his sleeve, it's located under his seat in a lovely shade of blue. My personal favorite color. Klemme would get on the button hard and force Merrick to then play catch up. Klemme takes him right to the edge and cuts him loose. Merrick breaks out by more. That little lesson was a learning moment brought to you courtesy of KPM. Pay attention in class, it never ends.

Apparently, Mr. Merrick was taking notes on Saturday. While Mark Mueller would take the number one qualifying position running a 10.51, Merrick was number three running a 10.53, only .01 behind you know who Mike Klemme. Let's see how this one pans out. With 20 entries this was going to be work to get to the pay window. Not that it's ever easy.

Round three winner included Brent Merrick, Joe Friedmansky and Mark Mueller. Hmm, I notice there is no mention of one Mike Klemme here? I guess Merrick did take good notes on Saturday. Although they didn't face each other, only one remained.

The semi final round gave Joe Friedmansky the competition bye into the final round. Mark Mueller would have to get past Brent Merrick to do the same. Merrick strapped an .05 hole shot on Mueller pushed him right to the edge. Sound familiar? However, Merrick would not break out but run a 10.51 to push Mueller out running an index breaking 10.46.

In his second final in as many days, Brent Merrick would face Joe Friedmansky. Merrick would have to play catch up as Friedmansky took a slight starting line advantage cutting an .087 to Merrick's .106. Merrick however was able to power past Friedmansky with a bit of room to spare at the big end and take his second win of the year and a commanding lead in the points.
