O’Reilly E.T. Bracket Series Results 08/21/2011 - Super Pro

Robert Gregory
Super Pro Results
Winner – Robert Gregory
Runner-Up – Daryl Patton
Semis – Arthur Edison

It’s easy.  Just go double O on the tree and run your dial in.  Nothing to it, right?  Well, if you’re Robert Gregory, maybe.  Houston’s Robert Gregory took home the top prize Sunday night by doing just that.  Out of 7 rounds of eliminations, Gregory was .00 on the tree 5 times and his worst light was .016, and ran dead on when he needed to.  Runner-up Daryl Patton survived some very close races with Arthur Edison, Danny Ray Martinez and Terry Sawyer, and used a perfect .000 light to take down James Ogden from League City.  Ogden was also the recipient of a .000 light from Bart Nelson in the 1st round. 

O’Reilly E.T. Bracket Series Results 08/20/2011 - Super Pro

Super Pro Results
Winner – Chanse Bullock
Runner-Up – Adam Martinez
Semis – Jonathan Johnson

Baytown’s Chanse Bullock picked up another trophy and winner’s check to add to his collection Saturday night.  After a trip to the buyback booth, Bullock was able to string together consistent .01 lights and rack up his 3rd victory over the 53 car Super Pro field.  It was almost not to be, Runner-up Adam Martinez was on a roll himself, logging four .00 reaction times going into the final, and edging Chanse .010 to .028 in the final.  Mechanical failure got the best of Adam, however, running over a tenth off his dial in the final.  Derrick Patton ended the hopes of an all-Martinez family Super Pro final, taking out veteran driver Ray Martinez in the 4th round.  Adam paid Derrick right back though, in the 5th round with a .007 and one off package.  Other money winners this week include Daryl Patton, Earl Thrift, Jenifer White, Leslie Meyer, Jonathan Johnson, Donny Burleson, Terry Sawyer and Clark Barker.

O’Reilly E.T. Bracket Series Results 08/20/2011 - Footbrake

Footbrake Results
Winner – Sheila Day
Runner-Up – Pat Richter
Semis – James Day

It was one familiar face and one newcomer to Royal Purple Raceway in Saturday’s Footbrake final.  Pasadena’s Sheila Day used some late round double O lights to take home the groceries in Saturday’s contest.  The Day family and their stable of relentless 4th generation Camaros have failed to share the winner’s circle with many competitors over the past few seasons.  Wichita, Kansas’s Pat Richter made sure it wasn’t an “all-Day” final by laying down a .004 and .003 off his dial run against James Day in the semi-finals.  Driving his mid 10-second ’82 Chevy S-10 to a runner-up finish was no cake walk, Richter faced some of RPR’s best along the way, including Jack Robinson, Henry Canales Jr. and Jason Patterson in addition to James and Sheila.  The 52 car field was no match for Sheila’s Circle D sponsored ’01 Z28, which ran within .02 through 7 rounds of eliminations.  So much for fuel injected cars being inconsistent.  Other money winners include Lloyd Mikeska, Donna Lummus, Jason Patterson, Hunter Patton, Robert Penn, Brian Gallagher, Billy Talbot and Jay Robinson.
