Throu gh most of th e seaso n both meers have won th e overalls in their respective clas ses, but not without some tou gh co m pe titio n.

Each rim e Bilard ell o tried to pass Mcilvaine he was sh u t out. Further back in th e pa ck , Ed Bao on a Suzuki sliced his way through positions and passed Po rtz. At 'he chec kers, Carsten did it again. followed by Mcilvaine. Bao, Po rtz and Bilard ello. . Bilardello grabbed th e lead in the fin a l moto with Sheak, Jason Riv as and Bao right behind. Fair ly new to thi s class, Rivas powered his Suzuki to tak e over the lead coming down the mogul as Bao moved into third, Carsten held fourth , bu t he made a pa ss on Bao in to th e tabletop sectio n.
