Night 2 brought the World Formula Tour to the "Action" track of Greenwood Valley. This 25 lap event was not decided to the last lap where the finish order changed considerably. The race was set up to be a dramatic one when the Bark #46 was awarded the pole position from his earlier heat victory and the 1K of Tommy Kosch was sitting on the outside pole. The two drivers did not disappoint the crowd by putting on a side by side race for most of the event. Bark led the entire race until a dramatic pass by Kosch in the final lap made the 1K a winner for the 3rd time on
dirt this year. The other late change in finishing order occurred in the three
and four positions where Boonstra and Lund continued their battle from the
previous night. In this event it was Lund in the #17 who made the pass on lap 24
by getting under the #55 of Boonstra and holding on for 3rd across the line.
