Finish line is at the peak of the roller.

Hawkins 29
Runte 28
Noelke 26
Rose 22
Jones 21
S. Koehler 18

-J. Koehler lost the rear driveshaft a third time
Notes:
-The incredibly demanding race course took its toll on all the trucks throughout the event. Barbarian suffered motor problems that would eventually cut its racing night short, Raminator suffered a blown motor in its first round victory over Avenger, and the two-week-old Avenger was suffering from a rear driveshaft problem that was eventually diagnosed weeks later as the driveshafts themselves being too long.
-The crowd heavily booed the decision to give Hoffman's relatively short freestyle run a 30, as the trucks that followed that gave longer and arguably better runs were scored lower.
