The REAL STREET championship was up for grabs until the end. Chris Tuten (photo) and Bruce Hemminger faced each other in the final round. Hemminger was quicker at 9.78, but Tuten's holeshot allowed his slower 9.82 to take the win and the championship.

Rich Groh (photo) won the two previous TREMEC PURE STREET races and used steadily improving performances throughout eliminations to take the final round win over defending champion Gene Hindman.

Everyone expected Mike Washington to win his seventh straight BFGOODRICH FACTORY STOCK race, and, after qualifying No. 1, it looked like a cinch. Then the unthinkable happened. Washington had problems that made him miss a gear, and Jamie Holten (photo) became the only other racer to win in the class this year.
