A few days after the race, NMA officials announced that they were in the process of reviewing the final ROC moto and planned on taking action. In the 80cc Stock and Modified Expe.rt classes before the ROC, Clowers swapped moto wins with Albrecht in both divisions to earn a pair of overalls. In the first moto of the Stock class Albrecht came from behind to edge out Antunez, Clowers, Craig Decker and Dement. However, the Team: Green/Dunlop/Maxima/Acerbis/ Pro Circuit/CTiiTsubaki/Ceet/ RenthaJlTHOR/ Arai/Kohler Kolors/Oakley-backed Clowers returned to lead Huffman, Antunez and Albrecht across the finish line in the second moto.

In the 80cc Modified Expert class Clowers ran away with the first moto, with Huffman, Antunez, Albrecht aDd Walters finishing a few seconds behind. Round two again saw the Albrecht/Antunez/Clowers battle continue with Antunez and Clowers leading off at the start with Albrecht third. During the entire race the trio was never more than three seconds apart with Clowers generally holding the upper hand. On the last lap Antunez tried to pass Clowers, but the move backfired. As Antunez attempted to displace Clowers, Albrecht shot underneath both riders to collect the win. Antunez made the pass for second, with Clowers, Dement and Lusk completing the top five. Clowers' 13 tally gave him the title over Albrecht and Antunez. Huffman was fourth and Walters fifth. Antunez's only overall win came in the Super Mini class where the R&D Suzuki/Hi-PointiCTi/Scotti Maxima/ShoeilTroy Lee/Renthalrider swept both motos. Antunez led Albrecht and Dement from start to finish as Clowers struggled to make up for a first-turn crash. Clowers later worked his way up from somewhere around 20th to fourth with Ulven collecting fifth. The final moto saw Antunez chase Clowers from the start and take over the lead when Clowers' silencer fell off on the second lap. Minus a silencer, Clowers pulled off the track, handing Dement the runner-up position. The positions stayed the same with Antunez picking up the overall with a perfect score, topping Dement's 3-2 and Albrecht's 2-6.
