Team Freeze members Dan Merlino, Brian Harp and Tony Spinks outran the field to claim victory during the NCMRRA fall two-hour endurance mini road race held at the Prairie Gty SVRA. Fifteen teams took the green flag and prepared to sellle in to the two-hour fight ahead of them. Chasing Team Freeze off the line was current NCMRRA Grand Champion Ken Takeda on the Team Wing entry.

McBride forged forward to close in on Adkins, while Light went the opposite way, losing positions to Jason Rosie and Brad Smith on the final lap.

While Schnitzer seemed to have the upper hand earlier in the season, Haycock has been the dominant rider of late, picking up a win at this event in the SOce Junior class.
