Friday Night
Friday: A near capacity crowd, seated right down to the crash wall, with kids getting 'high five'slaps from the riders on their way back to the pit areas! The Friday night format reverses the order of the riders on the Final Main Event, placing the faster riders on the back start line. This makes for a wild race with passing on every lap! The Quad main went through 3 restarts due to pileups in turn one. Shawn Hurley had the hottest ride of his ICE career with a second place finish ahead of ICE veteran, and former East Coast Champion Bruce Nelson, who was plagued with a flat front tire.
Quad rider Mandy "Wild Child" Brodil won the "King of the USA" feature race on Friday, and placed second on Saturday night.
Friday night heat and point results are at the bottom of this report.
Saturday Night - World Indoor Final
The number one plates were won by Anthony Barlow (Bikes), and Louis Smith (Quads).
Anthony Barlow made it to the Bike Final with two first in his heats, lost the coin toss with Adrian, putting him in gate two. He passed Australian Adrian Newman, (who was leading Anthony in the points standings by nine points), and took the win, putting Anthony at the top in the points. Matt King followed for third, and Canadian Nick Fafard passed Robert Curry to take fourth.
The quad final saw more passing than Friday night's reverse format with Jim Brown making a move from last to fifth, Scott Beauchamp moving
up to third from fifth. The three restarts it took to get it going added more damage to Brent Densford's 'Pit Bull' quad's steering
that had taken some hard knocks on the Friday night, dropping him to the back.
Heat points are awarded 10 for first, 5 for second, 3 for third, 1 for last. The top three points riders transfer directly to the front row of the 'Main Event Final'. The next six riders in the heat points go into the 'Last Chance' race. The top three in the 'Last Chance' race transfer to the second row of the Final, the remaining riders receive three points each.

How was my racing? A flat rear tire had me off on Friday, and a fried oil pump put my bike out for Saturday night. Thanks to Nick Fafard and Shawn Hurley for loaning me their bikes to get through the night, but it is VERY difficult to hop on a strange bike and do well!
