Due to a calendar conflict with the MotoAmerica round at Laguna Seca, AOD had a free seat open and was able to convince long time AOD champion Chris Peris to take time away from his lead instructor role at the Champ School to return to the racetrack.  Fortunately Chris had forgotten about Roebling Road in July and its thunderstorms, gnats, humidity,
heat, and tire shredding sweepers, and he agreed to ride.

Paired with long time AOD regular Taylor Knapp, the duo qualified on the front row as the top endurance team and won the race by five laps.

Taylor took the start and initially it looked like it might be a close race with a six bike breakaway up front.  However,  he was just biding his time until his fuel load was reduced; then he hit the front and built up a fortuitous 1 lap lead on the whole field.  That 1 lap lead
came in handy as, with the race’s sole red flag, AOD was able to remain comfortably up front.

With the victory AOD stretched the points lead for the championship by another 10 points.
