Super Street

With anywhere from 35-45 points available to the winner in Super Street Rob Galli and Eddie Timal have a shot at the top spot currently held by Tony Presto. Add to that the fact that Mike Yedgarian (who will reportedly be attending the finals) has a shot at a podium finish, there’s still gonna be lots of action in Super Street at the finals.


EZ Street

With Mark Azevedo going out in round one and Noel Borg winning the race Borg was able to not only retake the lead but he is now 30 points ahead. This means Borg will have to go out very early and Azevedo will have to go deep in order to take the championship.
