This is the first time since 2014 where North Americans make up the majority of the grid as they have 8 drivers in the main final just like they did in 2014! Coincidentally that was the last time a North American won even though it was indeed a Canadian.

David Ronnefalk is starting out front followed by his team mate Chase Lemieux and Fuller, Ongaro and Canas round out the top 5 spots. If we were betting our money would be on someone from this group to take the title in a bit over an hour's time!

Going down the grid Kaerup leads a group of three Associated drivers before Phi-Long Nguyen and Berkan Kilic who are the only two drivers running a Japanese chassis. Maifield and Horne got through on countdown and Seth VanDalen took the win in the Last Chance qualifier for that 13th spot to round out your field.

Two Xrays, two Sworkz, two Teknos, FIVE Associateds, a Kyosho and a Mugen are the chassis' who will be lining up on the grid!
