difficult to follow the large Light Buggy field.

Round 5
-
The start saw the husband and wife duo make it through the
always hectic first corner without any major contact. Craig
Paitl was dicing with several competitors with in the top
ten, at one one point it looked like a podium finish was a
possibility, until he was given a stop and go penalty
for making contact with a competitor that was running with a
flat tire. At the finish, Craig crossed the finish in
fifth place.
-
-
Once Stephanie cleared the "hill" for the first time, she
set her sites on the buggy in front of her. As the laps

Round 6
-
The Sunday race had Bryan Holtger driving the #100 Light
Buggy, with sister Stephanie, piloting the #144.

The start saw both teammates coming out the first corner
well back in the back. In a division where every racer is on
a level playing field, the chance of either race to
get towards the front would be remote. At the finish,
Bryan finished twentieth and Stephanie crossed the
line in nineteenth.
