Pro Truck Nationals Point Series Finale at West Michigan Sand Dragway Race
MEARS, Mich. - The 2011 Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) Tour series to conclude with the Season Finale on July 15-16 at West Michigan Sand Dragway in Mears, Michigan. The battle dramatic point in the title Pro Truck class continued throughout eliminations coming down to two runners in Michigan, Grand Rapids' Lee Reynders & Kip Martin Grand Haven. Both riders were on their game throughout qualifying and eliminations. The round would decide the semi-finals as Martin would lose a tight battle with Portland, MI Neal Swain clinching the championship for 2011 Pro Truck PTN Reynders.Reynders would fall in the next pair setting the stage for a first time winner PTN Truck Pro Swain that clashed with Jerseyville, IL Eric Gallay. Both drivers have high RT with Swain 0013-0016 have an advantage, but the band would Gallay closer to its index with a 3.936 (3.90) for the great victory. Gallay victory also propelled him past Martin and second place in the final rankings PTN Pro Truck class.A large field of eight entries showed up for the season finale at West Michigan Sand Dragway.Team McWethy "The Boss", led by Brian McWethy, made a comeback on the track with a new engine after injuring the previous point to the season opening of Cleves, OH. Brian would wheel "The Boss" in the first qualifying place with a large jet 3.103/103MPH. It would be to improve the action in the first round with a 3.095/105MPH start a first round defeat of Simon Rich. It would run to win the 2011 Pro Outlaw FE championship in Marysville, OH Kathy Ellington Richards as the team - Simon / Dozeman would finish second. Ellington had the bad luck that his car would be unable to begin distributing McWethy one on the last lap.On the other side of the scale, low ET Steve DeLeeuw snatched the weekend with a bang 3.026/109MPH, but it left a red light on the tree for Dan Wies Missouri to go with 3429. It would set up a great match between the powerful SBC-powered entries Wies & Hudsonville, MI Jay Poortenga.

A record 17 entries for the RTP showed ultra competitive 3.5 Class Index.
"Influence of Matrix Elements on Prairie-inhabiting Curculionidae ...
Abstract
It is well established that the invertebrate community in cropland under conservation-tillage (consT) is often enriched relative to the community under conventional-tillage (CT) systems. The question posed in this research is whether consT contributes to the maintenance of regional biodiversity and to the conservation of prairie-inhabiting species in agriculturally dominated landscapes that contain prairie remnants. During 2002, we sampled the grounddwelling beetle fauna of remnant Palouse prairie and surrounding cropland (under CT and consT) in the Palouse region of northwestern Idaho and southeastern Washington. Biological diversity of the representative taxa-Curculionidae (weevils), Tenebrionidae (darkling beetles) and Scarabaeidae (scarab beetles)-is significantly higher in the prairie than in agricultural fields, while divers ity of these groups in fields under consT is intermediate to that found in the prairie and fields under CT. Faunal similarity (Bray-Curtis Index) is greater between consT and prairie than between CT and prairie. Together, these results indicate that ConsT potentially improves conservation and the preservation of prairie species in agriculturally dominated landscapes.
