Tim Schultz took 125 hydro, Dominic (the Dominator) Defebo easily won 125 runabout, Chris Hellsten won 350 hydro, Mike Krier was the lone VRP driver to crack into the winners circle with the 250 runabout crown over a very good field of drivers. Paulie Bosnich took 3rd in only his second 250 runabout race and is looking better each heat. Mike Thirlby took 500 runabout, and Brandon thirlby won 500 and 1100 hydro.
