With in a lap or two, Viesins and Griffin were able to make a move into the 1 and 2 spot. They battled the whole 10 min race trading places with each other. Hanna was able to get into the lead. The racing got exciting with Viesins last min charge to try and take the lead but finished in the 2 spot. Tim Smith took the 3rd spot.

Griffin was able to finish in the 2 spot but Associated driver Chris Pace didn’t make it easy early on. He put the pressure on the first half of the race. Pace would hold down the 3 spot.
