champ Evan Lawrence filling out the next two rows. Of the 6, only the book-ends of the group had ever scored a step on the podium, and what ensued was a very exciting 10 lap contest to decide round #3. Right away it was Lawrence showing why he was the champ and the one who had won the event the past two years, getting to the lead early and controlling most of the race. Aldridge would slot into second and stay there for the first half with Fox in tow, before Lopinsky, and then Hackman found their way by and made haste for the front. Lopinsky got there first, and after a couple of failed attempts, allowed Hackman his own shot at it, all the while bringing the former front row back in the fold. On the final lap it Hackman making the move stick into the first corner, and while there was plenty of infighting behind, he could get away, and entering the final complex it was all to play for. Hackman went defensive, Lawrence countered on the exit, but when the pair went side by side through the final corner, Lopinsky undercut the pair to steal away the win, with Hackman settling for 2nd, and Chris Fox sneaking by as well for 3rd.
