Doug Farnborough (Oxford), Kevin Bitterman (Polaris) and Derek Lee (SVLS) showed up in the final 12. Doug took pole position and got to drive the checkered flag on the victory lap.

Ed Chan and Anupendra Sharma (SVC), Enrico Picozza and Yumin Choi (HLM), Mark Carthy (Orion) and John McDonald (MPM) also showed up at the races.
