They got back into the race only to discover at their first pit stop that their battery had died, and they couldn't restart the bike.

By this time, the Racers Supply team was out of the race and Rave them their spare battery. Believe it or not, the Thomas! Frettas team finished the race with no more p ro blem. The tro p h ies for the race were huge mugs engraved with the AR RA logo and were given out at the following day's sprint races.
