Sunday's Snow/Bike final came down to a Sled vs. one quick Bike. Sweeping the double header, Jacob Wood defeated Robert Neidigh. Wood ran 6.06 (5.98)-105.57.

Fairly Reliable Bob's Rex Petersen was the big winner of Outlaw Street. Petersen, near side, carded a 9.11-81.16 to beat Henry Hincks' Grand National.

Another double-up winner was Shayne Schaefer in Nostalgia. Into the stiff headwind, Schaefer beat three-time weekend bridesmaid Scott Downard with an 8.27 (8.19)-80.24. The famed `56 Chevy finished at 6.78 (6.72)-100.89.

Avenging his runner-up finish from one day earlier, Eric Sprague rebounded in Street Bike with a fine 6.76 (6.75)-106.42 to get around the Suzuki of Josh Redmon. Riding the bike in the far lane, Redmon finished at 7.47 (7.34)-95.11.

Reversing the final of Street Truck on Saturday, Ryan Resinkin nailed a 8.88 (8.89)-76.92 to eclipse Monte Bryant. In a race decided by .001 (MOV), Bryant, near lane, ran 8.71 (8.72)-80.07.

Following in the footsteps of his sister one day earlier, Sheldon Lemen ran 9.30 (9.25)-70.27 to win Jr. Lightning. Tiffany Burger, far side, finished a touch too quick at 9.66 (9.68)-65.13.

Competing in her first Firebird Jr. Thunder race, Shandi Mason from Twin Falls charged all the way to the final round (near side). Her dream day came to an end against Matthew Burger, who posted a winning 12.12 (11.93)-48.95.

Jeff Devey ran 4.86, 4.87 and 4.89 as the wind progressively got stronger during the day, but redlit (-.012) against Sean Shaffer in the second round of Super Pro on Sunday.

David Wade rides this `06 Kawasaki in the Street Bike class, losing in round two to Doug Schultz.

Former Sears Point track champ Glen Phillips ran 7.74 (7.74 dial) during round two Sunday, but the dreaded red eye (-.011) got the best of him.

Lynde Fischer was a second round finisher on Sunday after nailing a terrific 9.64 on a 9.64 in round one.

Defending Street Bike Jay Lee gathered up two round wins on Sunday to start his title defense.

On Sunday, Tom Davis ran 7.52 (7.51), 7.52 (7.51) and 7.508 (7.51) in losing to eventual winner Steve Pyburn in round three.

Never one to toss the towel in, Jennifer Barr changed the carburetor on her Mustang 3 times (is a charm!) during the weekend. It paid round point dividends with a 7.710 (7.71), 7.72 (7.70) and a 7.72 (7.72), but unfortunately redlit with a .033 in round three.
