As the 35 bike grid lined up for the start, a battle was brewing between Your Pace or Mine and MiniMotion. The start lights went out, and the grid surged ahead with MiniMotion and Your Pace or Mine out in front, followed by Heavy Lightweights, Leather & Lace, Von Hertell/Antic Racing, with Sport Rider Coaching and HBR all vying for the top spots at the end of hour 1.

Heading into Hour 2, Your Pace Or Mine held the lead with MiniMotion hot on their heels, until they suffered a mishap, and the other teams surged forward. With good racing all the way to the back of the grid, the frontrunners shuffled up some spots as the heat started taking its toll on the riders. At the end of hour 2, Your Pace or Mine held a two lap lead over the rest of the field, with Leather & Lace running second on a Kawasaki Ninja 300R, Team Heavy Lightweights is third, Von Hertell/Antic Racing in fourth, Sport Rider Coaching in fifth, and HBR rounding out the top 6 and all on Yamaha YZF-R3s.

Your Pace Or Mine still held a one lap lead over the field as Team Heavy Lightweights moved into second, Sport Rider Coaching up into third, the Von Hertell/Antic Racing team of Isaac Bauman, Simon Cosmo Hertell, John McKenzie, and Jesse Smartt held fourth, with HBR moving into fifth, and MotoBros into sixth on their Yamaha YZF-R3. Going into hour 4, the heat was taking its toll when two bikes made contact and went down, causing a red flag and an approximately 20 minute race stoppage. The full restart got the action back on, as the field once again sorted itself out. Heading into hour 5, the race leaders battled each other for dominance as Your Pace Or Mine stretched their lead to two laps over the rest of the field.

During the final hour, Your Pace Or Mine held on to the lead and stretched it to three laps.

The lights went out and the action was fierce, with the Howard/Fillmore team battling the Burleson/Phillips team for the lead with the Doolan/Nassaney team and Martins/Vigneau teams in hot pursuit.The McDonald/Tessier and Contreras/Orchard teams fought through traffic to vie for the top spots. The 16 team grid was running fast as the Howard/Fillmore duo tried to shake the tenacious Burleson/Phillips team off their six. As the pit lane opened and the rider swaps started taking place, the race leaders got away cleanly and continued their furious pursuit of each other. With such close racing action at the front, it was a barn burner to see who was going to end up in the top spots. Howard/Fillmore held the lead, but couldn’t quite shake Burleson/Phillips, but the continued to stretch the legs of the Super Duke to gain some ground.
