Eliminations

A five car field this week meant only one matchup in round one, with Olly facing off against Lee.  Lee was a little too quick on the draw and got caught by the big red bulb, but Olly had some trouble of his own and limped his way down the track with many of us wondering if he would in fact complete the pass.  Olly did in fact make it to the finish line to complete the pass, but his car was in pretty rough shape, so team Frey decided to call it a day.  With Olly out of action the only round two match up was Damon vs Warren.  In a matchup close enough to keep fans interested despite the high number of bye runs, Damon came out on top with a margin of .036 seconds over Warren.  So once again the stage was set for a showdown in the finals between Damon Harmon and Denis Elliot.  And what a finale it was, too. Denis ran an impressive 6.174 at 110.74 MPH, which under normal circumstances would have given him the win over Damon's time of 6.278 at 112.02 MPH.  Not today though, as Damon slaughtered the tree with a near perfect reaction time of .003 seconds against Denis's time of .127 seconds.  These two are definitely going to be a pair to watch as they go into the finals. See you all at Farmington!   Congratulations Damon and Denis!
