Rentzell was the winner in the Formula Two event in front of Leppelmerier and Joey Whittington. Leppelmeier dominated the small bore ranks with his very fast Yamaha RZ350. Leppelmeier emerged victorious in the RZ Challenge, Leppelmeier was pursued by John Reardon and John Lowman until Reardon crashed in the closing laps, forcing Lowman off the course, and handing second and third to Jason Kahley and David Murray. Lowman and Murray LOok the Lightweight II trophies behind Leppelmeier. Novice rider Blaine Paulus rode well during the weekend and carded first Novice honors in the Formula Twin and upertwins events and also was third Novice in Lightweight 1I behind Tad Stepek and Mark Long.
