In the Touring Car Modified class it was Rick Hohwart who took the overall TQ from JJ Wang and Andrew Hardman. TC 13.5T non-timing had Scotty Gray securing the TQ spot from Josh Cyrul and Kyle Bergstrom.


In Touring 17.5T non-timing it was again Scotty Gray who took TQ while Cory Parsons and Mark Burt came in 2nd and 3rd after the qualifiers. In VTA 25.5T it was Cory Parsons who grabbed the TQ from Jarrett Parsons and David Franklin. World GT 13.5T saw Josh Cyrul taking TQ from Dave Vera and George Martinez.

On to the finals and it was Paul Lemieux who secured the overall win in the TC modified class after taking the number 2 spot in A1 and a win in A2. Rick Hohwart won the opening A-main but had a slower A2 handing Paul the overall victory after the tie-breaker, following the cancellation of A3 after some heavy rain. Keven Hebert grabbed the final podium spot in 3rd. Touring 13.5T had TQ Scotty Gray making a clean sweep in A1 and A2, having him sit out A3 due to ROAR rules.
