Winner – Jim Mauro 5.58
Runner-up – Duane Jackson 5.69
#1 Qualifier – Duane Jackson 5.602

The FBR Shop 5.60 was a nail biter for Courtlan Whiting who was leading the class when the race started but slowly started to lose his lead as the weekend wore on. Duane Jackson took the number one qualifying position with a 5.602, giving him an extra point in qualifying over Whiting who qualified second with 5.604.

On Sunday Whiting took a first-round loss putting his championship in jeopardy. The rest of the day was nothing short of #Suspenseful as we watched the rounds unfold. Duane Jackson, Jim Mauro, and Taylor Dunham all had a chance at the championship, and they all took first-round wins. Right away, anyone paying attention to points in this class, could feel the tension rise. In round two, Jackson, Mauro, and Dunham all took wins, and you could see Whiting standing on the track just watching his points lead diminish. In round three, it was a repeat as all three competitors took another series of wins as Whiting watched, suited up still competing in Crazy 8’s, you could see the disbelief in his eyes as he walked back to his bike in the staging lanes. In round four, Mauro would take out Dunham and Jackson would take another win.



Then in round five, the worst possible outcome happens, Mauro had a bye to the final and Jackson took a win heading into the final as well. Courtlan had just won the Crazy 8’s final before this round, left the winner’s circle and ran over to watch this round, but that was all he could do at this point, watch.

In the final round, if Jackson won, he would also take the championship by twelve-points, but if Mauro won, Whiting would win the championship by three points. And at this point as a racer, you are doing the calculations in your head and hoping you counted everything correctly because this would be the tightest championship this season.

Both Mauro and Jackson were at the top of their games, cutting lights and running the number. You couldn’t even bet on who would win this one, it was a coin flip pairing. Mauro got the starting line advantage on Jackson, but to the naked eye, it was hard to see as they both shot off down the track toward the eight-mile finish line. Neither racer was lifting the throttle, and they both broke out, running a 5.580 to a 5.569. Mauro would be the victor by a margin of only four inches! And when his win light came on, both Courtlan and Mauro’s teams went wild!
