Less crashes than the previous night! I tied with Gary and Chris for the last entry into the Last Change race, then lost the coin toss to Chris. I was glad to see him make the main, as his riding had been steadily improving, and he may have a chance at winning. A half a lap into the main, Curry lost his chain and Biff and Chris were in the lead. Biff went down, taking Chris with him and causing a restart. Curry borrowed another bike, but did not do well. Jeff Orosz, who had been having trouble adjusting to the ice got the lead and won the event.
