Saturday Results
Why is Luke Bogacki (white shirt, right side of check) smiling? Because he probably made more money today racing than working.  Luke, from Woodville, Alabama, was a busy man today.  In CSR Super Pro, Luke had to run himself in the final.  You do that by buying two run cards, then keeping them all day.  OK, so there's $6000 won in just by staging the car.  Now throw in the runner up spot in the Moser Super Pro Shootout and that was worth another $1000.  By the way, did we mention that Luke runnered up in DRR Sportsman along with all that?  So that's just two people that got in Luke's way all day Saturday, and we'll mention them next.  In the 2007 Race Tech Championship Points Standings, Luke is #1 in both Super Pro and Sportsman.
A runner up finish in Sportsman at the 2006 Lone Star Nationals left Merkel's Debbie Kelly (middle of check) with a desire to take it one more step.  She got there,  being the first of only two people today to send points leader Luke Bogacki back to the trailer with a runner up time slip.  In the DRR Sportsman final, Debbie went .037 on the tree and ran 7.860 on a 7.83 dial for the win.  Luke had a bit better .026 light and ran 6.545 on a 6.50 to runner up.  Debbie won the finish by .0039.  Debbie would like to thank Samford Racing Engines for their support in 2007.
Steve Collier of Benton Louisana was ready for Luke Bogacki in the Moser Super Pro Shootout final.  .004 on the tree and a 4.967 on a 4.98 dial says he was cocked and ready.  Luke was too, but gave it up on the starting line with -.005 red light.

In Race Tech Jr. Dragster, Dustin Douglas of Abilene took home the winner's check, defeating Koy Collier of Benton, Louisiana in the final.  Dustin got the better end of a double breakout race, hitting 8.963 under an 8.98 dial with a great .014 light for the win.  Koy went .054 on the tree and ran farther under with a 10.824 on a 10.85 dial.

Tommy Wade of Abilene picks up his second DRR Trophy win in the DRR 2007 racing series.  Tommy took the win when his opponent (we can't seem to locate the run card for the other driver) went -.27 red on the tree.

Carol Johnson from Tuscola, Texas was awarded Best Engineered. 

Best Appearing went to the beautiful Corvette of San Angelo's Mark Winger.  We took pictures, but you really need to see this car up close.

Friday Results
In Motorcycle No Box, Larry Brunselmeyer took the win over George Newman.  Larry hit .042 on the tree and ran 8.14 on his 8.00 dial.  George ran closer with a 7.59 against a 7.55 dial, but missed the tree and couldn't make it up on the top end.  Larry was on a streak anyway, having won the Motorcycle trophy class on Thursday.
The Gamblers Race ended up with Joe Collier and Maxey Chittum facing each other in the final.  Joe got the win, hitting .025 on the tree and clicking off a 4.835 on a 4.81 dial.  Maxey had an almost the same .028 light but ran a little bit farther off his target dial of 5.32, stopping the clock at 5.384.  Joe got the win by about .0114.
