1/12th Super Stock

In qualifying Donny Lia showed his dominance of this class by being a lap up on the field. For nearly the first 4 minutes of the A-main Donny made it look like everyone had a chance. Donny then tapped out onto the straightaway, and after that moment he stopped playing around. Driving back from 4th Donny would pass John Dickson for 1st w/ 1 minute left on the clock to win with his A12X. Awesomatix also had the most cars w/in this A-main!!
