The Supermini cJ1JSS was a battle of the local stars.

Borders grabbed the first-moto start. ahead of Mississippi's Kyle Gills and Georgia's Dylan Daniel. Back in sixth place was Alabama's Blane Mason. As Borders checked out. Mason began a charge to the front. and by lap three he was in second. By then. Borders had too much of a iead for Mason to overcome, and moto one ended with Borders winning by a mile, followed by Mason, Florida's Larry Partin Jr.. Gills and Daniel. Borders grabbed the lead again off the gate in moto two, but this time Mason got off with him and beg1Jn to apply the pressure.
