Reaction times were nearly identical and the race was fender-to-fender
until the eighth-mile trap where it appeared Ari missed fourth gear.
John drove around and took home the class win.

Despite an absence of the big-name West Coast dominators in this class,
the local talent faired well in filling the ladders in this growing
class. Scott Mohler and Fred Ellis would use their 11-second power to
get past most of the field. Scott would suffer breakage by the semis
and this led to a final of Fred Ellis versus 'Upset King' Brian Mosholder.
Ellis would blow the doors off Brian in the final as his luck dried
up in the upset department.
TROUBLE AT THE SCALES
The all-NOS Honda of Ramon Torres had their best qualifying run of the
sessions disqualified because they did not have the vehicle drive to
the scales under its own power or by a supervised tow from an IDRC official.
This bumped them out of the 16 spots in the ultra-competitive field.
The team was fortunate enough to get back in the field when one of the
qualified cars was unable to make the call for the first round of eliminations.
The Mitsubishi of Dan Cokic also had trouble from the scales when they
were DQ'd for missing the scales after their quarter-final run.
