Sure am not used to seeing Amsoil go down before the race is over, too bad.

Stihl looks to be wanting really bad to follow up their National Championship with a World Championship.

The start on Friday.

Unofficially Broadco first, Amsoil second, and Racing for Cancer third. Tough conditions today, Stihl broke a drive odd the transom. Congrats to Racing for Cancer. Their goal was to get a podium finish, and they did.

An amazing class with competition second to none. Wonder if there will be more teams next year?
