runner up in a race with no right front suspension.

Melissa beat us by .0018 MOV in round 4, but the next round, she came down and the entire right front suspension collapsed. She kept it off the wall, drove it back to the pit. Found out the upper shock mount broke off the frame. They're already calling her back to the round 6, so her boyfriend (Brad) grabs 4 of the ratchet straps out of the trailer, she hauls ass about double the safe pit speed, gets sideways through some water in the pits, makes it to the staging lines. Brad's just slinging the straps through the lower A arm and strapping it to the uppertube behind the motor mount. They call her pair, other guy's already done a burnout, she just goes around the water, does a dry hop, gets the win.

Hot lap for round 7, quarter finals. comes back up, does a burnout, Brad tugs all 4 straps, gets the win.

round 8, semi finals: repeat. Gets win

Round 9: repeat. Phillip has a .011 light on her .014, but she falls 2 off dial giving him the win. He also won the $10,000 high roller race Friday night.
