Fastest in Q3, Lemieux was again his nearest rival with Schumacher’s Broc Champlin P3 ahead of Dakotah Phend’s Xray which topped Q2. In the triple finals it was Rivkin who took A1 of 2WD as Horne fell to the back of the pack at the start before recovering to P3. In A2 Lemieux took a very close win over Horne which set up a three battle for A3. This time Horne would get the win over Lemieux but on tie-break Lemieux got the overall victory.
