In the second heat, Shawn Baer took the
lead from Hacker on the second lap and never
looked back. He protected his line and left
Hacker and Curt Jones behind to battle for
second. Jones emerged the victor for a second-place finish, and Hacker crossed the
white line third.
Since Baer's heat was the fastest, he started the Open Expert main in the choice position, with Klinefelter to his right. However, the
riders' concentration may have been broken
when the race was restarted after Ben Walters

the first lap. Walters' bike was broken and he

Klinefelter quickly jumped into first, and Baer

pass him, to no avail. Hacker, who began the
race on the outside of the front row, raced into
third by the first full lap but never passed
Baer, settling for a third-place finish. Joe
Eades. Curt Jones and Wesley Kite followed.
