X.I.I.R. rnd 2!! 12 Dec 2010 Everett.Washington.

Championship Leader, Charlie “The Edge” Venegas struggled a little in Heat 1 as whilst in 2nd place behind James “Demolition Man” Mann he was passed by the “British Bulldog”, Anthony Barlow, alas for Barlow and Mann this didn’t last and on the back straight of the last lap Venegas got the better of both Barlow and Mann entering the 3rd turn and took the chequered flag. Other than this the highlight of the Qualifying Heats was the strong challenge of the Canadian Champion, Kyle Legault, who took a 1st and 2nd place to book his place on the front row of the grid for the Main Final alongside Venegas and Barlow. Mann meanwhile had to be content with a place on the front row of the grid for the Last Chance and although he couldn’t quite catch the Californian, Kelly Kerrigan, he did enough to get to the Main Final as did Nathan Siegel, a Quad rider going fairly well now on the ice after a spell in the UK doing second halves in 2009. In fact it was in the Last Chance that Siegel showed his metal as he came off the back row to take 3rd position and with it a place in the Main Final. The highlight of the 6-lap Main Final was the form of Mann, (who incidentally won the Quad Class in this Meeting against a very strong field) who came through from 5th to 3rd place just taking Legault before the chequered flag. Venegas once again dominated the Main Final and after 2 rounds of the Series has a commanding lead of 8 points.
