(Commerce, GA - August 13) Rain got the best of the racers today, coming in just before four finals were ready to run. The finals were set in 8-12 Jr Dragster, 13-17 Jr Dragster, Trophy Street, and Sportsman. Seven racers remained in Super Pro. Sportsman and Super Pro agreed to split the purse among the remaining racers, thus ending the competition for them.

The finals in Trophy Street, 8-12 Jr Dragster, and 13-17 Jr Dragster will be contested at the conclusion of time trials during the August 20 Summit ET Race. All points were awarded up to the point where the race was called.

Joshua Sisson will face Jacquelyn Lastinger in 8-12 Jr Dragster. Taylor Griffith, the August 6 13-17 Jr Dragster winner, will race Danielle Krause, and Ashley Dumas will run against Randy Franklin in the Trophy Street final on August 20. Ashley Snelgrove was the lone semi-finalist in 8-12 Jr Dragster and Team PTI racer Jake Swaim finished his day in the 13-17 Jr Dragster semi-final round. Kevin Rich said he was on a roll in Trophy Street until he came to the semi-final round, where his day was finished.

Chris Carlile ('69 Camaro - Canton, GA) was set to run Terrance Arrowood ('72 Nova - Hiwassee, GA) in the Sportsman final, but the two racers just agreed to split the purse. Chuck Conaway ('66 Chevy II - Cumming, GA) and Ed Nalley ('74 Vega - Maysville, GA) were the semi-final finishers.
