I could hear two quads as they worked in and out of the field section, making their way to the ditch area. I could see McGill was still in the lead, but Sturdivant was giving chase. The sound of the engines grew silent as they approached the deepest hole of the day, and now with both riders together, it would come down to who could get through first.
Brent was the winner this lap and McGill found himself in second
