 |
| Danny Hart stayed on his bike and declared that bigger wheels are better by the end of the race. |
 |
| Zander Geddes was looking like he was on his way to taking out Danny Hart in the this semi run, but lost it in the last ten feet to Danny's irrepressible grit. |
 |

 |
| Mitch Ropelato for the win! |
 |
| Ropelato taking the advantage and the win in the second run of the final heat against Barry Nobles. |
