Everett McLaughlin & Francisco Perez ruled the day with consistent speed and smarts to sit in first with 5 points after drop. JJ & Tracy Hall took advantage of a number of missteps from fellow competitors to sit in second with 6 points followed by Ian Brown (former Pan Am representative) & ?? (crews not listed, sorry) with 13 points. Julian Inglis is in fourth with 20 points, followed by Harri Palm & Molly Kurvink with 21 points due to an unfortunate DNE from a second rule 42 violation.
