​

Brooklyn and Lexy have been kicking butt all year in the 1/10th scale class, so they were moved up to the veterans' class for a race. However, it was Mike Hughes, making his first R/CU race of the year, who ran a perfect race to take the victory with the Winston Eagle. Geoffry took second with his repaired PayneWest, and Lexy rounded out the podium.

​

Three boats were called for jumping the gun, with the U-76, Pete's Wicked Ale, and Squire Shop all charged. Then, the Stroh's Light drifted across the Oberto's lane at the start, which caused the Oberto to go dead and earning a disqualification in the process. This handed the lead to Brent Edinger with the Pay'n Pak, who did not relinquish it in order to advance to the final.

​

The Miss Circus Circus led after the first turn, however caught a wave wrong and semi-spun on a breezy backstretch.

He was able to hold on for his 2nd victory of the year in nitro, with Grembowski recovering to finish 2nd and Jim Putich rounding out the podium.
