Bike#-Rider-(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed----Bike#-Rider-(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
1134 Casey Stemper 518 Billy Vose
E3 ****WINNER**** 0.147 4.086 173.01 0.054 4.202 166.07
Prior rounds:

Qualified: #2 4.123 171.34 #3 4.136 171.82
8:19 p.m. These two ran identical ETs in the quarterfinals, so this matchup looked like it would be decided at the starting line.
When the reaction times came up, Vose looked like a sure winner, but something caused him to slow on the top end, while Stemper ran low ET of the event for the win. Casey Stemper's incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.099), 330 ft(-0.045). MOV: 0.0232 seconds (approximately 6 feet).

Qualified: #7 4.015 186.38 #3 3.882 192.77
8:41 p.m. Race officials are trying to get the cars turned around as quickly as possible because of possible dew problems this evening.
Hancock was late, then shook and slowed. Rahaim heads for the final round.
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
8 Rickie Jones 1 Mike Castellana
E2 ****WINNER**** 0.074 3.821 197.45 No Time

Castellana's car broke when they fired the engine, possibly with an electrical short, and Jones, in the Summit Racing Camaro, will have lane choice when he faces Rahaim in the Pro Nitrous final round and we will have a first-time winner in the category.

Qualified: #2 5.838 119.40 #4 6.053 115.48
9:03 p.m. Warned you about this one...Helms was the quickest loser inn round one, so came back to replace the scheduled bye in this round. Helms had a good light, then spun the tires hard and slowed.
Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
3334 Chris Holbrook 4772 David Buckner
E2 ****WINNER**** 0.173 5.807 119.97 0.152 15.518 27.31
Prior rounds:
E1 0.328 5.769 120.33 (J TEUTON ) 0.124 6.138 112.93
Qualified: #1 5.756 120.21 #5 6.073 113.24
This one is harder to explain. Joe Teuton was scheduled to face Holbrook, but damaged his Challenger when he drove it into the trailer to change the oil. Since the car was too damaged to race, Buckner came back under the "break rule." However, he fared no better than Helms, also losing traction. The two Mustangs will face off in the final round, Holbrook has lane choice against Butner.

9:46 p.m. Reid had a great light, Abruzzi had an okay light, but Abruzzi was much closer to his dial-in to take the win by a car length.

9:49 p.m. Castellana lost in the Pro Nitrous semifinals with a broken car, so this was his last shot at a win for this event.
Naiser's car shook and headed for the centerline, forcing him to lift. Castellana was unchallenged after that and won handily.

Qualified: #4 4.099 176.44 #10 4.125 175.55
9:52 p.m. Pluchino has never won one of these events, Gahm has won several of them and has to be considered the favorite in this matchup. However, strange things have happened today.
Pluchino needed a sizeable holeshot to have a chance and he did what he had to do, with a five hundredths advantage on the tree. Gahm nibbled that down a lot, but never did get his nose out in front. John Pluchino's incremental margins: 60ft(0.035), 330 ft(0.024). MOV: 0.0168 seconds (approximately 4 feet).

E1 (R THORNTON ) 0.021 4.149 182.80 (L SWINDELL J) 0.072 4.049 194.32
Qualified: #5 4.084 184.19 #2 3.931 194.46
10:02 p.m. Neither of these drivers has won a Minuteman, so we will have a third first-time winner in a few moments.
Pittman is no stranger to the winner's circle, but he is new to the ADRL winner's circle. Myers left second, then slowed, and Pittman adds his name to the list of Extreme 10.5 winners.

Qualified: #1 4.096 174.57 #2 4.123 171.34
9:56 p.m. Stemper has never won a Minuteman trophy and had a good shot at joining John Pluchino as a first-time winner. However, McKinney has been here before and was quicker in the semifinals, but only by a thousandth of a second.
Stemper grabbed a two hundredths edge at the green, then McKinney had a big POP from the engine at half track to end his pursuit.
Two first-time winners so far and we are assured of at least one more, in Pro Nitrous.

10:06 p.m. Since this is the first-ever Supercar Showdown race, it's not fair to include the winners on the list of first-time winners.
Butner had a leisurely light, Holbrook was just plain late and his car accelerated slowly. Butner gets the first-ever Supercar Showdown winner's trophy.

10:11 p.m. This is it, the last final round of the event. Smith ran low ET of the event in the semifinals, but Hossler was not far back.
More strange things happened here, Smith's car unable to stop after the burnout. Hossler had to wait for Smith's car to be removed from the far end of the track before he could stage the car and take his victory lap. Because of the long delay, Hossler staged the car, took the green, and shut the car off. The decision was made to finish this way because Hossler's car was overheating and Smith's car was still not clear on the top end.
