The Front Wheel Drive class was next to take too the slippery track and last years points winner Scott Miller took over where he left off, but not without a fight from Steve Hallquist. Hallquist lead laps one through eleven when mechanical issues forced him too the infield, giving the lead to Miller for the final four laps ahead of another first time feature winner JIm Wigchers. Jerret Hamilton finished third ahead of Jesse Tripp and rookie Mark Lawrence.
Fifteen cars took the green flag for the 6/8 Full Size class with Joe Rowen jumping to the early lead in the inverted field, but after only two laps Andy Cimfl took advantage of his good starting position too take the lead and never look back with a very comfortable win. Rick and Steve Hallquist lead the charge from the back row to finish second and third respectivly, bringing along Don Cook and Jim Cimfl to round out the top five in a very close seven car battle.
The Powder Puff class was last in the running order for the day and Barron's Sheila Cook showed that the long summer didn't stop her winning ways where she lead Deb Cimfl and Missy Hallquist across the finish line in a shortened feature race due to daylight.
