Marble Falls, Tx. \u2013 After two days of qualifying it was finally time for the racers and crews to put it all on the line in the quest for the win, series points and, of course, the payday that comes with the win.<\/p>\n

The weekend ran the gamut of weather conditions and then emotions on Sunday. Friday is was scorching hot, so hot I saw the devil at the sno-cone stand, Saturday was cloudy, not as hot, but humid(air you could wear), and most did. Then Sunday, after the course was resurfaced overnight(code for rained on it), it was cooler, a bit muggy, but windy causing several delays in racing for rough water.<\/p>\n

In the race for $1,000 Magnum Custom Trailers reaction time bounty, Mickey Snider in his Pro Modified held the honors Friday and Saturday with a .0012 reaction time. Sunday saw Marcus Kinsey pick up the cash with a .00001, that’s um, 1\/10,000th from perfect. In talking to Kinsey during a break he related that it was just nothing but luck. He adjusted his leave light because of the holding rope and the boat getting blown closer to the timing beams. Heck of an on-the-fly adjustment.<\/p>\n

The top qualifiers in the Pro classes saw Bryan Sanders lead all the way in Top Fuel Hydro, Mike Declark rebounded from a dismal Friday to get the spot in Top Alcohol Hydro, Tony Scarlata led both rounds in Top Alcohol Flat, Jimmy Booher bumped Robert Leas out in Pro Modifieds and Jim Richards had the field covered in Pro Outlaw.<\/p>\n

Top Fuel eliminations<\/p>\n

Sanders Sweeps Somber Final<\/p>\n

Bryan Sanders(Nitrochondriac) did about everything but sell tickets leading through both rounds of qualifying, setting and backing up a new ET record(3.385), then going home with a somewhat bittersweet win against Scotty Lumbert(Spirit of Texas) in the finals. Lumbert went red at the start giving the victory to Sanders. Lumbert would leg out his run and blow up on the top end. From there the boat went out of control and crashed ejecting the capsule, as the boats are designed to do. Rescue was quickly on the scene and remove the capsule. Lumbert was then air-lifted to an Austin hospital. No further updates were available at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

**Update 8\/15; From team and family sources, Lumbert has a broken arm, plus facial fractures and cuts. He is currently in ICU at an Austin hospital while they continue to do CT scans and monitor him. While not entirely out of the woods, the prognosis looks good for his recovery.<\/p>\n
