Footbrake Results
Winner – Jay RobinsonRunner-Up – Mike “Drew” Porcher
Semis – Adam White, Joe Villareal
A couple of familiar faces made it to the Royal Purple Raceway Winner’s Circle once again this week. Santa Fe’s Jay Robinson and Conroe’s Drew Porcher faced off after eliminating the rest of the 57 car field on Saturday. Jay Robinson recorded his 3rd victory on the season, extending his already massive points lead. In typical fashion, Jay used a reaction time average of .021 to best or tie 5 out of 6 of his opponents. Semifinalist Joe Villareal hung a .003 light on Jay, but the reliable ’73 Nova came through for Jay at the top end, running dead on his 11.24 dial. Pine Valley Raceway’s points leader, Drew Porcher, seems to find his way to the final just about every week now. He’s been doing so well that the pits and message boards were buzzing with rumors to the point where they inspected his ’88 S-10 pickup on Sunday. Like the guy doesn’t have enough stress in his life. Between dominating PVR and now RPR, having a new house built, moving and all the other stresses of everyday life, you guys gotta go out and accuse him of cheating. I hope you haven’t made him angry. He might stop settling for the runner-up spot and just run the table from here on out. Porcher carried a .030 reaction time average before going red in the final, his second final in the 2011 O’Reilly Bracket series. Other money winners were Steve Exner, Richard Forrest, Joe Villareal, Craig Stevenson, Adam White, Brian Gallagher, David Lissman, Gordon Smith, Jamie Haines, Rickey Nelson and James Day.
Super Pro Results
Winner – Larry Thomason
Runner-Up – James Kay
Semis – Earl Thrift, Tommy Costales
Over in lanes 7-10, it was Port Arthur’s Larry Thomason taking care of business on this unusually hot day in May, holding off James Kay’s ’80 Camaro in an all doorcar Super Pro final. After getting off to a rough start with a first round loss to Stephen Hughes, Thomason visited the buyback booth and now he has something to loan out to the Museum of the Gulf Coast. Larry averaged .012 at the tree until the final round, and went home with the $1200 winner check and RPR trophy. James Kay also had a good night post-buyback window, averaging .008 after his first round loss to Ricky Whittington, including a .000 to end the racing portion of the afternoon early for Glen Stepan. Chanse Bullock and Daniel Martinez earn the award for closest race this time out, both drivers posting .00 lights and running .01 off their dials for a MOV of .003. Derrick Patton, points leader Chanse Bullock, ’09 & ’10 champ Donny Burleson, Dan Hamrick, Earl Thrift, Craig Sites, Stephen Hughes, Friendswood’s newest business owner Jonathan Johnson, Michael Kennedy, Terrance Harrison and Tommy Costales were your money winners.
