Just like last year, points the Club Challenge Event was not settled until the final round of competition. The 9 Second Pizza Club was in a battle with Pogo Racing. Each had on team member in the finals. In Sportsman, Derrick Jackson had gone four rounds for Pogo Racing, and would match up against LaVonne Goodman. In Pro Bracket, Bryce Moilanen had gone five rounds for Nine Second Pizza Club, and would match up against Joe Sorensen in the finals. The Nine Second Piaaa Club held a one point lead (11 to 10) going into the finals. The Sportsman final was first. Derrick took the win, which tied the score (11 to 11). If Bryce could defeat Joe, the Nine Second Pizza Club would take a one point lead and the win for the 2008 Club Challenge. Bryce knew he would need to cut a great light against the hard-charging Camaro of Joe Sorensen. Joe left first with an .042 light. Bryce followed with a -.013 red-light which meant, the Club Challenge score was tied 11 to 11. The first tie-breaker is which team has an individual champion. Derrick’s win in Sportsman sealed the deal and Pogo Racing is declared the 2008 Club Challenge winner and will receive free admission to the 2009 event as they defend their title against all comers. Congratulations to Derrick Jackson, Carl Wilkerson, John Floyd, Jr, Stephanie Gross, and Harry Cole for your win. Final Team Standings were as follows: Pogo Racing – 11; Nine Second Pizza Club – 11; Fab Five – 9; Goodman Racing – 9; D.F.S. Racing Team – 7; Trunk Monkeys – 7; GMO Racing – 6; Team Thunder – 6; Go Auto – 5; Modern Plumbing Flush Fever – 4; Wizards – 4; Retreaders – 4; The Webs – 3; Git-R-Done – 2; D.A. Rebels – 2; Killers – 1; Portland Club Grand Prix – 1.
