Bill Ballance dropped back to 5th place after stopping for some fresh goggles.
Greg Trew also stopped for Goggles and wrapped some shop towels around his hand grips to try to help with keeping his hands grips clean as he came through in 6th place.
#3 Chris Borich lost four positions during his pit stop and was back to 7th place as he chased after Trew.
Bryan Baker moved up into the top 10 after passing Chris Jenks in the Pits.
The battle between Andy Lagzdins continued as Andy Lagzdins once again dropped behind Rhett Butler as they battle for the 13th spot.
#4 Chad Duvall’s bad luck would continue as he found himself caught up with Rhett Butler at the beginning of the race only to have his chain derail on him during the 2nd lap and wrap up around his front sprocket and bring his race to an end after early once again :(
Chad Duvall wasn't alone with Thomas Barrett bad luck continued on from Big Buck with his Honda breaking down before the end of the 1st lap along with Kim Kuhnle's Polaris Predator. Also, #16 Santo Derisi was sidetracked while working on his rear shock and forgot to put on the nut which allowed the bolt to fall out and leave him sitting as well :(
In hot pursuit behind the Pro riders, were Pro Am riders, Scott Barron running in 8th Overall by time and leading the Pro Am Class with Joshua Ribley running in 10th Overall and 2nd place before his race ended in the second lap, which allowed Adam McGill to move back up into 2nd place.
Derek Litterini was also having a stellar race early running in top 15 Overall and 4th place in the Pro Am Class before his day was also ended before the end of the second lap :( , which allowed Timothy Gale to move up into 4th before his race ended after only two laps as the brutle conditions quickly began claiming riders left and right.
By the beginning of the 3rd lap and the Pro Riders were due in any second, everyone was on the edge with anticipation of who would emerge through the scoring tent with the lead heading into the last lap of the race.
In true fashion, #1 Bill Ballance had worked his way back up from 5th place to take over the lead before the end of the lap, and he headed into the pits for some goggles and his crew quickly whipped down his grips before he headed out of the pits.
