Hobby stock went to Larry Tompkins with Fussman and Rowe following. Ryder edged Klotz in the super stock dash and heat races with DeShone winning a second heat. Parker set fast time in super stocks at 17.88 while Aldridge timed 18.88 in hobby stocks. A demolition derby and dune buggy racing closed the night ahead of July 4 events and prize giveaways.
