MISSION, B.C. - The Summit Racing Series racers in the Northwest Division waited a long time to find out who the 2004 Northwest Division Team Champions are. But now they know: Team Woodburn three-peated.

After two days of rain delays and no competition at all on Monday, the 31 racers who remained out of a field of more than 500 settled things about noon on Tuesday. Tim Schillereff of Portland, Ore., took the Super Pro title in his dragster and Jerry Gossette, of Quilcene, Wash., grabbed the Pro title in his '68 Oldsmobile Cutlass.

Meanwhile, racers from Team Woodburn (Ore.) had piled up enough points to clinch the team championship before the final rounds were even run. It is the third championship in a row for the troops from Woodburn.

The Sportsman and Motorcycle/Snowmobile event titles were settled on Sunday, as those two somewhat smaller fields were able to complete eliminations as scheduled. Jody Lang, of Puyallup, Wash., won the Sportsman title and Roger Wolff of Dundee, Ore., the Motorcycle/Snowmobile crown.

Saturday's action in the Race of Champions, which locks each track's season champions in competition against each other, determined the Northwest Division Champions for 2004 and the division's representatives at the Summit Series showdown for national titles the NHRA Finals come November in Pomona, Calif.

The Northwest Division Summit Series racers will convene in 2005 at Pacific Raceways in Seattle, where team Woodburn will be trying for a fourth straight title.
