Luke Tournier clinched the title with his number 2 outfit after posting fast run on the final day with a 1:09.14. Coming off barrel number 1 in heat 1, Tournier’s Ron May Consulting Outfit, won top money by 19 one-hundreds of a second over local legend Buddy Bensmiller who placed second for the day. Obrey Motowylo’s number 1 outfit placed 3rd for the night, followed by Barry Hodgson’s number 2 outfit that placed 4th, while Obrey Motowylo’s number 2 outfit rounded the top five for the night.
