Motoworks/Can-Am rider Chris Bithell was in
the mix all day, ultimately crossing the line
in the fifth position just behind a still recovering
Brian Wolf. GT Thunder/ Waynesburg Yamaha's
Jeff Pickens rebounded from a disappointing
mechanical issue in Florida to secure the sixth
position and ran within the lead pack for much
of the race.
