After Jimmy Creten won the Double Down Trophy for being the fastest qualifier Friday night in Bounty Hunter the track became difficult for many of the top racers Saturday night when the teams squared off in bracket racing to determine the 2007 champ. A balanced bracket led to lots of close races and several surprises that began when top seed Creten was eliminated, falling to Neil Elliot and Hot Wheels. Seasock beat. Damon Bradshaw in the Air Force Afterburner in his initial race as the Batman pilot in the World Finals and followed that up with a quarter final round triumph against Hot Wheels and a semifinal win over Charlie Pauken in Monster Mutt to earn his spot in the championship race against defending champion Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger.

The race to determine the '07 champ was even at the end of Thunder Alley but Seasock handled the tricky turn better and claimed his first World Championship.

The freestyle competition on a course full of the most extreme obstacles ever produced, as expected, the most spectacular moments of the season. Early highlights saw Linsey Weenk in Iron Outlaw, Marc McDonald in the Safe Auto Minimizer, and Bradshaw sharing the Hot Wheels Hot Seat with scores of 29 until Huffaker's clock filling, high energy, big air performance took over the number one spot with a score of 34 from the judges. Huffaker would hold the top spot as seven more of the world's best freestylers took their shot but could not keep Pablo from his first world title. Dennis Anderson got the closest with a score of 30 and defending champ Toim Meents was brilliant in Maximum Destruction but left 25 seconds on the clock when his run ended and Huffaker had the title in Captain's Curse. In a freestyle competition full of WOW moments the one that may be the most remebered was Superman's final move when Chad Fortune stuck his truck straight up in the air in the middle of the double bus stack, his Ford standing straight up in the air, balanced on its nose.

After the completion of the event virtually every fan in the sold out stadium remainded and was thrilled by the encore, a celebration of Grave Digger's 25th anniversary that featured 5 Team Grave Digger trucks freestyling on the track at the same time!
