All three drivers Zeb Wise, Tyler Courtney, and Kevin Thomas, Jr participated in the Driven2SaveLives/Seymour Police Department's 2nd annual "Hot Pursuit road course challenge" Drivers drove a mile long road course making right and left turns, and driving on blacktop, dirt, and gravel. All drivers were allowed practice time, and then they drove three different police vehicles through the course with their average time determining their time compared against the other drivers. If a driver hit a cone and knocked it over, there was a three second penalty added to their time. This race was held at the Seymour Freeman Field Airport. The results were:

Finishing 3rd was Kevin Thomas, Jr with an average time of 1:39.47, 2nd was Tyler Courtney 1:38.80 and quick time was ZEB WISE 1:37.76
