With six riders pushing the index pretty strongly this class is definitely stepping up their performances.  To boot, this was also in almost 90 degree heat and humidity.  Brad Haisler would lead the field into competition running an 8.917 to take top honors.

Going into the semi final round.  Dennis Bailey would be taking on Brad Haisler who was having his way with the class.  Until now.  Both riders cut great lights with Bailey cutting an .034 to Haisler’s .056.  Bailey however was all over the index running it with a nine while Haisler could do nothing but try to push him out and follow through the lights.  James Hendricks would have a bye run and didn't make a clean run but will move on into the final round.

BRAIN WADHAMS ON BYE RUN

MULHERN(L)  vs KAUSAL(R)

Third round pairings came down like this.  Joe Mulhern and Brad Haisler, then Brian Wadhams and Steve Adams.  First was Mulhern and Haisler.  Haisler took a major .07 holeshot leaving Mulhern to play a tough game of catch up.  Blowing through the traps Mulhern makes up the difference as Haisler blips the throttle and lets Mulhern nab the stripe.  Steve Adams, who was hot lapping his bike in two classes brings his bike to the line with heat glowing off his beautiful blue 14.  Brian Wadhams cuts a great .035 bulb and Adams doesn't move three feet and starts spinning.  However, Adams also has a matching blue bottle and gets all over it to try and run down his competition.  He makes a valiant effort but comes up short and Wadhams goes to the final round.

The final round was another wire to wire nail biter.  Joe Mulhern would leave only .015 ahead of Brain Wadhams.  Wadhams wasn't going to let leaving second keep him from getting back into the lead.  He takes the lead and runs too far ahead and then tries to back into Mulhern but doesn't scrub off enough ET and breaks out by only .005!  while Mulhern runs right on with an 8!
