The final round of A-mains let the racers decide their own fate in 2 of the three classes with the only class being wrapped up in 2 was the 1/8th Open class by TQ, DJ Apolaro.

The 1/8th Masters class looked like it was almost all in the bag for Steve Rossi. With a strong start and smooth driving, A2 winner Steve Rossi was making his move towards the front and took over the lead from track owner Martinez when Martinez would overcook the pit lane and wreck out finishing his run. Rossi would make a huge error in a crash that would cause him to flame out. In the mayhem, Rossi would also lose a wheel as well as precious time allowing Tod Roman to the lead. Roman would hold out for the win making it his first win of the weekend. Also benefiting from Rossi's mishap, Paulie Becatini and Don Jones moving up to 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Next up, was the 1/10th Sedan class. Determined to repeat his A2 win, Thilo Toedtmann once again delivered when it mattered most. Controlling the gap to his competitors, Toedtmann takes the win in A3 sealling the overall victory in doing so. Capricorn's Chris Tosolini would work his way up from the bump spot, but with not enough time on the clock, Tosolini would finish 2nd and remain on the leader's lap. Murnan Racing's own Uriah Murnan would just edge out DJ Apolaro for 3rd.

Having won A1 and A2 and locking up the win, DJ Apolaro who had the luxury to sit out and watch the action from pit lane. A3 was a 2 race pony with Marco Vanni taking the win witn Vincent Jackson finishing on the same lap, but a very respectable 5 seconds back. Paolo Morganti would have his best showing in A3 by finishing 3rd.
