Another 4.70 for Gorman but Thomas got it on a holeshot.

They all put up a good fight but in the end Mat Thomas took it home. Congratulations to Mat Thomas and the NX crew for a much deserved win. Matt had the better reaction time in each race that he ran. Great Job!
The runner up, Steve Gorman kept seeing 0’s last night. He ran three 4.70 passes. One of which gave him an extra $400 of Hans Feustel Bonus money.

Welcome to three new members , Randy Locke, David Hauk and Bobby Fuentues. Glad to see Nick Williams back as well.
