A clean start in Race 5 saw Ellis take an early lead from pole-position closely pursued by fellow front row starter Nick Galante. By lap three Ellis had extended his lead setting fastest lap of the race with Galante still in his mirrors. On lap 10, Galante dropped a wheel off at the exit of Turn Six allowing Carlton to close the gap but Nick fended off his advances to the checker.
A very close start in Race 6 saw Ellis, Galante and Carlton head into Turn 1 as one with Carlton snatching second from Galante around the outside of Turn Two which allowed Ellis to break away, the Canadian extending his lead to over three seconds by lap seven.
Galante's finish gave him enough points to clinch the third spot in the overall championship.

GoPro 125 Stock Moto and 80 Shifters
The five 125 Motos combined with the five 80 shifters in a split start race that had good action for first place all day long. In Qualifying, Steve Cameron took the 125 pole ahead of Jim Inglebright and Nick Galante while Greg Richter took the 80 pole ahead of Roger Cornwall and Marc Stanley. In the first Heat, Inglebright got past Cameron on the start with Cornwall also getting by Richter to take the 80 lead. Cameron took the lead back a lap later and half way through the eight lap race, Inglebright and Galante touched and both spun as they were exiting turn one. Galante recovered to take third with Brad Shaffer second and Cameron winning. Cornwall held his lead over Richter to take the 80 win with Geoff Provo third. In the second Heat, Cameron took the lead at the green and went on to the win ahead of Galante and Shaffer with Richter taking control of the 80 win followed by Cornwall and Stanley. In the Main, Nick Galante took the lead at the green with Cameron chasing. This duel went on for the whole race with Galante not giving Cameron a good look for a clean pass. Nick held on to take the win and with it the GoPro Hero camera. Steve Cameron came home 2nd followed by a recovered Inglebright. In the 80 portion of the race, Richter again took the lead at the start but was pressured the entire race by Cornwall. In the end, Greg took the win with Roger one second back and Marc Stanley another
second back.
