Half way through the race the top three teams were all on the same lap "Mugen Mafia", "High Voltage" and Team "Vertigo". The race between the top 3 teams jockeyed back and forth for the whole race as each team had break downs of some sort that changed the lead and had all thinking one team had it in the bag before something broke and they dropped down to 3rd or 4th place. Break downs from snapped A-arms, flame outs, diff failures, and various other mechanical failures plagued every team.
One of the highlights of excitement happened when team "Mugen Mafia" held the lead with only 10minutes left in the race and 2nd place team "High Voltage" running in 2nd place 18 laps behind. Thinking they had a comfortable lead the "Mafias" rear diff case melted and the rear drive shaft came out while running 2 laps in front wheel drive only until the car stopped dead! With 30sec lap times 10mins meant 2nd place could pull 20 laps and take the win from 18 laps behind. But, thanks to a back up car that was sitting in sections in the pit, the "Mafia" made a 4min rear end swap to get back on the track and take the overall win!
1st Place went to the "Mugen Mafia" team. Their Tekin powered Mugen Mbx6 Eco was piloted by drivers Ty Mills, Willy Mills, Ryan Mosley and Team Captain Jason Wipf. The team chose a tried and proven T8 1900 Rx8(TT2312) combo as their power plant.
2nd was "High Voltage" which included Jake Dellinger, Courtney Vaughn, Rusty Purifoy and Brian Stanford. They also ran a Mugen MBX6 Eco.
3rd "Team Sandbag" included Jason Branham, Brian Branham, Ruben Samuel and Grayson Witt. The team ran a Nitro powered Hot Bodies D8 Buggy.
