A big shout out goes to Jairo Perez for taking the trifecta with 3 different division wins. Quincy Davis won the Pro Women’s division and also placed 2nd in the Jr Women’s. Other notables were Andrew Doheny, Mikey Ciarmella, and Kim Diggs who all made finals as well. Check below for the results.
Thursday night was the ELECTRIC “Orange Crushing It” party at Waterman’s. You had to get there early because it filled up fast with locals, pro surfers, and the ELECTRIC family.

Pretty sure I’m the most excited Grom right now. Hanging and surfing with all the Electric boys this week has been so cool. Surfing with Ry and Craig has got me so amped to try new tricks and push my surfing to the next level.
I got up super early this morning, I think it was around 5am and took the ski over to surf Illuka with Warto. We scored some sick barrels with only 4 other guys out. We got home about 8am for some breakfast and woke the crew up to let them know the waves were pumping.
Not sure if anyone has talked about the house Electric rented us yet, but I think it’s the sickest house I’ve ever stayed in. It’s straight across from the beach over looking a break called Pippies, meaning we don’t have to go anywhere to check the conditions.
Thanks for checking out my blog and make sure you get the December issue of Tracks, cause we going to have a surf movie from our trip on the cover.

AUG 21ST, 2010 | ELECTRIC’S KYLE BUSCH DOES THE HAT TRICK AND MAKES HISTORY!
Electric’s Kyle Busch scored the elusive hat trick at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway by winning Saturday’s Irwin Tools Night Race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event. The 25 year old swept all three of the NASCAR races at the .533-mile oval, winning the Camping World Truck Series race Wednesday night and the Nationwide Series race Friday night before wheeling his No. 18 Doublemint Toyota to victory in Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race.
“It means a lot,” said Busch after notching his 19th career Sprint Cup victory. “I’m out of breath. I’ve been screaming the whole time. Normally you take your time to get your breath back, but I used it all up. What a great race car.” Kyle went on to thank his crew for their flawless pit stops all night saying, “these guys are awesome.”
Busch led four times for a race high 282 laps in Saturday night’s race, and coupled with his victories in the Nationwide and Truck Series events, the Las Vegas native led 514 of a possible 956 laps throughout the weekend.
“It’s pretty cool because when you come so close and then don’t get it, it’s pretty frustrating,” said Busch, who now has 78 victories across NASCAR’s top three divisions. “I mean, last year we won the truck race and were leading the Nationwide race and we got crashed out, and then we ended up winning the Cup race. So this is probably a year delayed. I’m just real appreciative of what was able to happen tonight. It’s cool to be able to put it all together and win all three races.”
With 24 of 36 races in the books, Kyle bumped up five spots to 3rd place overall with only two races remaining before the Chase.
The Sprint Cup Series takes a rare weekend off before returning to action at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the September 5 Emory Healthcare 500. The race starts at 4:30pm PST on ESPN.

A SURF BLOG BY CRAIG ANDERSON | DAWN SLEEPERS & SUNSET CREEPERS
Here I am, on my first trip with Electric since joining the team at the beginning of this year. Sickest crew to hang with and surfing with every-one has been blowing my mind. Rasta’s surfing is off the hook, are you for real how good this guy surfs.
Our day started with yet another sleep-in hahahaha, we’re all useless at getting up for the early. It’s been a pretty shitty day here a few massive rain showers have hit us through out the day. Ry and I check our favorite wedge Turners at least four times today before hitting it just on dark.
Since we spent most the day hanging around Monkey and Pete thought we should best get out and experience some of the local town attractions. So a few rounds of lawn bowls, with some cold beers it was at the local bowls club. I was pretty bad to start with but ended up smoking them all……….well I won the first two rounds and beat Hoy.
Dinner is about to be served and the boys are cracking me a cold beer so better hit it. Thanks and make sue you tune in soon for our team video coming out next month with Tracks.
