Texas bounce

Good work, crew. Gory details are here.

Bullet points this week:

* 18 300-plus-point scores this week, the most since Dover.

* 214 average was the highest since Kansas.

* Yahoo and Chase standings tightened up a bit, as a result and somewhat thanks to a sub-300 score by Van's Bums.

* New poll available to the right; vote now.

* Rolling Thunder's 380 points was tops this week and the highest score since Van's 382 at Chicago. If you're wondering about the season's best, Dirt Runners and BLOWINSMOKE posted 397-point weeks prior to that.

* Rolling's score gives it a 191-point lead over Van's in the Single Elimination finals; Rev-A-Lusions leads TURBO by 62 for third place.

* In case you missed it, Van's won the Double Elimination title last week.

* In the World Cup finals/third-place, Barrie Lang leads Cooter by 54 and RacingAngel leads Team Lester by 10.
