Although the rain did hold off the for Youth and bike classes, the afternoon ATV racers had no such luck. The rain began to fall just as the ATV racers were called to the starting line. After much debate, it was decided that the ATVs would still race in the rain and hope for the best.

As the rain continued to fall, the riding conditions began to deteriorate with every passing minute. By the end of lap one, racers could barely see where they were going with so much mud and rain hindering their vision. The harsh conditions began to take its toll on the racers and it became hard to tell which way the track was going.
