HEAT 1

At the green flag rolling start it was the #22 of Jay Santos leading the field on the first lap but was quickly out powered by the #33 Triple J ford and then out maneuvered by the crafty #91 turbo utv of Donny Pitter who both moved up into first and second respectively.  The early leader Santos in the #22 monster rigg was the first to hit the pits with a mechanical which ended up being the end of that campaign.  By lap three the #1 turbo utv of Simpson and Ada had moved up from last to second with the #33 Triple J Ford still out front and extending its lead. By lap four both the turbo utv machines were in the pits with issues allowing the #22 non turbo utv of team Cycles Plus Kawasaki to move up into second as the #33 Triple J Ford continued to extend its lead.  Both turbo utv’s were able to rejoin the race and were regaining track positions by lap seven as both the #72 and #19 retired into the pits with mechanical issues. In the last quarter hour of the first heat drivers seemed settled into their current positions with the #33 Triple J Ford leading, the #22 Cycles Plus Kawasaki in second, the #75 of team Rios in third, the #91 of Pitter in fourth, the #1 of Simpson and Ada in fifth and the #57 of team Rocky Mountain Precast running in sixth.

HEAT 2

At the green flag single file rolling start it was the #33 Triple J Ford lunging out over the jump in front as the ground rumbled and shook as the second heat competitors were hard on the throttle. The #91 of team Pitstop moved up quickly into second and were looking solid with the #22 of team CyclesPlus Kawasaki in third. On lap five the #22 of team CyclesPlus made the move into second shuffling the #91 of team pitstop back to third which they both held until they both pitted on the very next lap. By lap seven the Triple J Ford was still out front running a conservative pace with the #75 of team Rios  having moved up into second and the #72 rig of team Rocky Mountain Precast into third. With just a quarter of an hour left to go the #33 was leading, the #75 was in second but in danger of the ever improving pace of the #72 who sat in third momentarily, fourth was the #1 of Simpson and Ada, fifth was the #91 and sixth was the #57. Once again with just less than fifteen minutes remaining in the heat the final battles began. The #72 of team Rocky Mountain Precast shot up into second and was on the same lap as the leader of #33 Triple J Ford, #75 team Ros pitted and appeared to have an issue dropping them back several positions, the #1 of Simpson and Ada moved into third with the #91 into fourth. With the clock ticking down the #33 Triple J Ford pitted allowing the #72 driven by Chris Kiwi Rabbettes to take the heat two lead. The #33 Triple J Ford was able to re enter now in the second place position which it had to settle for as the #72 Team Rocky Mountain Precast rig took the heat two win with a 28 laps completed.
