Jason Anderson, Blake Baggett, Justin Brayton, or Ryan Villopoto?
I would have to go with Jason Anderson...gets a good start in his heat, then taken out on the first lap by an entirely overzealous Gannon Audette. He then remounts and starts charging only to lose it in the whoops while in 12th place as he is reeling in the final transfer spot. It was a pretty nasty get-off, back end kicked out and flicked Anderson off and his bike high sided.
Then you move on to the lites LCQ and he gets the holeshot(?) I believe, haven't seen the replay on Speed yet. From my vantage point behind the start gate it appeared as though Baggett got to the corner and pushed everybody out wide and yet again Anderson was at the right place at the wrong time. by the time he got back up it was too late to make any progress in a 4 lap LCQ. Shitty night all together.
--side note: anyone see the guy get hit by a Honda in the first lites heat coming out of the whoops? he got up and brushed himself off, but it looked nasty to say the least. he pretty much got speared by the front tire, from the split-second that I saw it.

Btw, that was Alex Martin coming out of the whoops. That foam protective block did an amazing job!! Watch it on tv... or here: http://bit.ly/iec4dP

I wouldn't say the crowd was unexpected. I hear they've always wished for more from Jacksonville (Atlanta's not that far away, and is always awesome), but Jacksonville has proven itself consistent in failing to draw well.
Maybe JAX just isn't interested in supporting sports?

Who had the best night in Jax? Trey Canard, from zero to hero!! He's now in the championship hunt and honestly with him riding like that ladies and gentlemen, we can have another rookie champion. If he got those rookie mistakes out of the way.
