..... after waiting-out a 2+ hour rain-delay between the Round-of-7 and the Semi-Finals this afternoon, Kevin Roberts emerged victorious over a field of 19 racers, beating Tracy Lewis in the Finals today:
the other Semi-Finalists were veteran Craig Gingerich, and 2nd-timer R.J. Gordon, all in C5s.

I just got-in the door (I left before 6:00 AM ) after driving 74+ miles home through an impending thunder & lightning storm, and will post a full report with pictures tomorrow (Sunday 26 August ), when I get a chance:
the track's computer had difficulty printing-out the Points Standings for me, and BMP will forward them to RevXtreme later this week, to be sent to Redgar for updating the website.
