1) Don Tatum
2) Robert Rund
3) Will Swiftfoot
4) Dave Ingraham

Chris Brandt had bid and would have started 4th, but was unable to make the race due to an unexpected conflict.
The end of Turn 1 had Don leading.
Rob takes the lead on Turn 6 by taking the inside 80 at 120 for 2w.
At the end of Lap 1, the order is:

Dave
Phil

Near the end of Lap 2 on Turn 15 Will pulls up with the leaders.
And then pushes his top with 1 skill to hit 160 and move into P2 at the start of Lap 3.
The order at the end of Lap2:
Rob
Will
Don
Dave
Phil
Jack
Will Then takes P1 on the next turn, late-braking with 1 skill. Don was forced to late brake (he used a wear). Jack spends 2 wear on the inside of Downhill to move into P5.
Jack and Phill both roll with 2 skill to hit 160 and stay side-by-side going into Big Bend.
Phil would then late break with 2 skill so he could start at 120 and get the jump. Jack rolls a Chance for 2w and -3 sk to take the inside.
On Turn 24, Jack would blow through West Bend and Downhill at 140 for 2w. This was also the end of Lap3, with the running order
Will
Rob
Don
Dave
Jack
Phil
Will damages his brakes with a naked roll and drops to 20 Decel. Don went inside and picked up P2. Jack would test Top again with 2 skill to hit 160.
Don grabs the lead on Turn 29 by beating Will through Uphill.
Dave moves into P3 on Turn 30.
Next turn, Rob passes Dave thanks to the line. Jack passes them both at 140 to take over P3.
At the end of Lap 4, the running order was:
Don
Will
Jack
Dave
Rob
Phil
By Turn 35, Jack would be up to second, but would soon begin sliding back.
Dave gets past Jack at 140 on Turn 37, then late-brakes into the corner to 120 (automatically with -3sk) for 1w. Jack is forced to late brake, uses 1 sk, and rolls an 11, burning his last wear and breaking his brakes (that part was less important than the wear).
Next turn, Dave dives to the inside to take over P2.
On Turn 39, Rob needs to late brake - but fails, breaks his breaks, and with no wear, spins. Jack is also forced to late brake but makes it and moves into P4.
Don cruises home on Turn 40, still with 3 wear and a -3 skill!
There would be no oder changes at this point. This finishing order was:
1) Don Tatum
2) Dave Ingraham
3) Will Swiftfoot
4) Jack Beckman
5) Phil Walling
6) Robert Rund
