Coxhell and Giles off the line well, Gobert 3rd, Cudlin 4th, Coxhell ahead of Giles briefly before Shawn opens up the big Suzuki and leaves Coxhell for dead once again. Coxhell catches up under brakes at the end of the back straight but has a huge slide out of the turn in an effort to get on the power early enough to stay with the Suzuki. Gobert 3rd, Cudlin 4th, Rees 5th. Cudlin through on Gobert for 3rd. Giles has one second over Coxhell at the end of lap 1 but stretched that to 1.8 by the end of the second lap. Next time around the gap was 2.2, Rees 3rd, Stauffer, Cudlin, Gobert, Simpson. Lap 5 now and Giles now leads by 3.3 seconds, Rees 3rd. Coxhell in 2nd and has 3 seconds over Rees. Final lap - 4.2 seconds is the gap from Giles back to Coxhell, Rees a further 4 seconds behind in 3rd. Jamie Stauffer right with Rees and challenging for 3rd. Giles celebrates the win with a stand-up mono across the finish line, Coxhell 2nd, Rees 3rd, Stauffer 4th, Gobert 5th, Cudlin 6th, Normoyle 7th, Simpson 8th. So the overall round win goes to Giles, Coxhell 2nd, Rees 3rd. 1 Shawn GILES 13m15.0144
