Duncan Racing’s, #14 Andy Lagzdins, was once again in the top 10 holding down the 7th spot with #23 Bryan Baker, #7 Chris Jenks, #9 Brandon Ballance, and #10 Greg Trew all within a few seconds of each other in hot pursuit.
By the 1.5 Mile mark of the 2nd lap, at the 1st Creek Jump, Chris Borich had taken over the lead with Bill Ballance only a few seconds behind him as he launched the creek jump for the 1st time during the race as all the top 10 Pro Riders went around the jump on the 1st lap.
Also, many of the spectators didn't even venture over to it because I don't think they even knew it existed.
#9 Brandon Ballance and his shadow #10 Greg Trew launched the creek back to back as they battle for the 10th spot with #10 Greg Trew going on to pass Brandon before the end of the lap.
I was joking about the shadow comment, but you have to admit that they did look almost indentical this race.
#2 William Yokley continued his charge up from last place as he moved up though the pack into 13th place behind behind #13 Todd Knippenberg by the end of the lap.
Unfortunatley, once again, #5 Chad Duvall would only be able to complete one lap before snapping a tie-rod which would take him out of the race :(
By the third lap, I headed over to Creek Jump #2 at the 4 mile marker and it was packed with spectators waiting to watch some of the creek jumping action.
They were lined up all long the jump and creek and also stretched out around the landing and creek by-pass.
As everyone patiently waited for the Pro to come back around, the kids kept themselves occupied playing in the creek.
With a few spectators yelling out "The Pros are Coming" everyone's attention was quickly focused on the track to see who would be out front this lap.
Once again, it was Chris Borich holding down the lead with Bill Ballance right behind him as they both launched over the creek's edge.
As the battle for the lead intensified Borich and Ballance would begin to seperate themselves from the rest of the Pros after putting in the fastest lap times of the race with a tie of 28:30.
Almost a minute back in third place was #11 Michael Houston
Their was more than one exciting battle going on during the race with #4 Matt Smiley and #6 Bryan Cook swapping position back and forth several times with Matt holding onto the 4th spot by the end of lap #3 with Cook temporarily slipping back to 6th behind #7 Chris Jenks.
