In the PRO 4x4 class, Red Bull/AMSOIL driver Steve Barlow was on the poll both days, but was unable to hang onto his lead. Rockstar Kyle LeDuc took the lead from Barlow early on in the race and dominated the weekend, taking two victories and two Oakley Bomb Run Awards for the fastest lap times. Monster 
Energy superstar Rick Huseman took second both days, with AMSOIL Super Team driver Scott Douglas rounding out the podium on Saturday. After blowing an engine Saturday on the last lap of the race, Johnny Greaves came back and took third place on Sunday.
The AMSOIL PRO 2WD class continues to bring intense racing and a lot of excitement as it is TORC's largest PRO class and stacked deep with racing talent. Two AMSOIL drivers, supercross legends Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Johnson had an intense battle on Saturday as McGrath led for most of the race trying to hold off Johnson; eventually he would succumb to both Ricky Johnson, who took the win, and Todd LeDuc, who took second. All was not lost for McGrath, as he took home his very first Oakley Bomb Run Award. LeDuc came back from his third place finish to win on Sunday. Red Bull/AMSOIL driver Ricky Johnson took second an
d Rob MacCachren took third. Johnson also took home the Oakley Bomb for the fastest lap time on Sunday. AMSOIL Super Team driver Mike Oberg finished sixth on Saturday but was blindsided on Sunday, finishing tenth. He is seventh overall.The most unpredictable class of the weekend was PRO Light. Traxxas/AMSOIL driver Jeff Kincaid took the win on Saturday, but was not as successful Sunday after ending his race early due to engine trouble. Kincaid did, however, take the Oakley Bomb Run Award for the fastest lap time both days. Marty Hart took second on Saturday behind Kincaid, but was shut out of the top three on Sunday. AMSOIL Super Team driver Chad Hord took a fourth on Saturday despite being a wad of dirt filling up his engine. The hometown hero was able to retake the points lead with a win on Sunday.
