waiting in the forground for the winner of this round.
Picture 36: At the end of the day it came down to Pulliam's and Rupp's
2000 Celicas running heads up in ES for the overall win. Nobody got a
head start because they are in the same class.
Picture 37: Ken Rupp won the overall bracket by this much. The finish
line is lined up between the light poles so Rupp has already crossed it
in the far lane.
