(Idalou, TX) Seasons Last Points Race

Lubbock Dragway finished up their last points race with a bang.

Super Pro- Mike Belk (Plainview, Tx.) finished the season with a vengeance in his `84 Duster by defeating Larry Stokes (Plainview, Tx.) in his `67 Camaro. Belk had the lesser of two evils in a double break out. Eldon Russ (Clovis, N.M.) was the class semi. Car trouble during the season kept Belk from having a shot at the Class title.

Sportsman- Coy Franks (Flomot, Tx.) cut the tree down in the finals and wheeled his `82 Firebird to victory over Chad Guthrie (Floydada, Tx.) with a .006 light and a 9.588 (9.56) to the `73 Nova�s .072 light and 10.074 (10.09). In the semis, Gregg Davis (Olton, Tx.) suffered a heart breakin� loss to Franks .013 light advantage to Davis� .067 and a 12.350 (12.35).

Modified- Jerry Cottrell (Lubbock, Tx.) owner of a 2004 Wally trophy finished the season with win number four aboard his `72 Nova.

Street- Street class was a preview of what� s to come in the `05 season. Freddie Ybarra III (Lorenzo, Tx.) made his first appearance of the season in the Precision Auto Winners Circle. Ybarra in his `67 Camaro broke out by .012 to edge out newcomer Laura Cavazos (Smyer, Tx.) in her `01 Chevy PU who broke out by .024. Diana Stevens (Lubbock, Tx.) was also a newcomer and piloted her v8 Mazda to a third place finish.

Jr. Dragster-Keiri Ferguson�s (Hereford, Tx.) extraordinary .001 light and a 9.444 (9.37) was enough to seal the deal over Beth Skelton�s (Hereford, Tx.) .094 light and 12.64 (12.56). Trent Womack (Sundown, Tx.) fought through the tough competitive field to finish in the top three.
