Matt Powers and Dean Kearney went out next an all-S14 battle. We were expecting a pretty intense match here, but Matt’s gearbox gave out, allowing Kearney to take a big advantage and move to the Top 16.

In the following battle Cyrus Martinez did his absolute best to hold off the raging Scion of Tanner Foust, but it was to no avail. Foust moves to the Top 16.

Justin Pawlak vs. Michael Essa looked like it would be another close match, but JTP opened an early advantage on the banking and didn’t look back. More on Justin’s wall-riding weekend coming soon.

Veterans Rhys Millen and Sam Hubinette had the misfortune of being matched up in the Top 32.

Here you can see the massive gap that Darren McNamara has put on Dennis Merztanis during their battle. DMac easily gets the win and moves to the Top 16.

Matt Waldin and Ken Gushi at the point of entry. Gushi would end up taking the win here.

Next up, Chris Forsberg and Bill Sherman headed out for what was probably the weekend’s most insane battle. These guys would need two OMT’s before Forsberg was eventually declared winner. Hats off to Sherman for putting up such a hard fight against the defending champ.

Media goons always find an interesting way to pass the down time…

Finally the action resumed after the long delay with Ross Petty facing Ryuji Miki and his new Lexus. Ross took advantage of Miki’s unfamiliarity with his new car, and easily got the win here.

And closing out the Top 32 was a solo run by Michihiro Takatori. He was due to face Mad Mike here, but Mike was forced to retire after a broken differential during morning practice. Bummer.

Top 16 action next time!
