A large crowd formed around the Podium across the road from the finish line, and everyone was wondering who would be awarded the final podium spot.

Bill Ballance requested to view the video tape himself with the racer productions crew for them to clarify the change in the results, so John Ayers and Bill Ballance went to review the different video tapes.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Rice and Scott Barron hung out together sharing there incredible racing moments with each other and both of them were just glad to have put in such great rides in the brutal conditions.
