Brown with the starting line advantage, but is up in smoke right at the hit and pedals it but is back up in smoke and clicks it off. alBalooshi started to lose traction and he did a great pedal job and got it to hook up and alBalooshi gets his first National event win. Brown will leave with the National E.T. record and the point lead.
