The event had a decent turnout out, but it would have been better if it weren't for the on and off rain

The track was extremely muddy, and the practice session in the morning was extended to try to clean the track up before the races.

Only three top pros showed up for the event Jeremy Schell, Darrell Patton, and Kory Ellis, which was a big change from the previous two Quadcross races when many of the Pros were out West preparing for the Glen Helen National.

The Skies remained Overcast and rain threating for the entire first Moto races.

The racing action early was extremely exciting with several lead changes. #53 Kory Ellis (Alba Racing / Kenda) grabbed the holeshot with #35 Darrell Patton 2nd, and #1 Jeremy Schell (kawasaki / ITP) in 3rd.

A few turns into the race, Jeremy passed Darrell to take over 2nd place. Shortly afterwords, Kory messed up going into a turn, which allowed Jeremy to pass into the lead!

By the time Kory Ellis got going again, Darrell Patton had also passed him, and Kory Ellis dropped back to Third.
