From our live notes - Start from the bottom and read up

  • Jamie takes the win from Dan, Bugden 3rd just holding off a last lap challenge from Josh Brookes

  • Jamie ahead of Daniel now

  • Jamie and Daniel not showing too much brotherly love, rubbing fairings at every turn now, Bugden 3rd, Brookes 4th

  • Yamaha-Stauffer 1-2 now, Daniel and Jamie out in front together, shifting Bugden back to 4th

  • Daniel Stauffer still leading, Bugden 2nd, Jamie 3rd, Josh 4th

  • Gilesy retires and pulls in to the pits

  • Gilesy up in to 3rd at turn 3 but then runs off between 3 and 4!  Gilesy in to the dirt but rejoins the circuit a few seconds later

  • Bugden does take 2nd place now, all this battling between Bugden, Jamie, Shawn and Josh has allowed Daniel Stauffer to escape a little, not a lot but he does have a few bike lengths on them

  • Bugden tried to out-brake Jamie for 2nd in to turn 6 that time but went in a little deep, gathers it up and puts his head down though

  • Dan in

  •  front, Jamie 2nd, Bugden 3rd but being challenged by Giles, lap 4 of 12 

  • So Bugden now 3rd, Giles 4th, Brookes pushed back to 5th but still trying hard

  • Bugden put the bit between his teeth to out-brake both Gilesy and Brookes in to turn 4, it was amazing and made Josh pick up his bike twice as the move could nearly have been described as a block pass, but all is fair play

  • Stauffer 1-2 at the moment followed by Josh Brookes and Shawn Giles

  • On the grid, off they go!  Jamie Stauffer got a great run off the line and leads through turn 1 from Shawn and Daniel, Bugden and Brookes also right up there

  • Warm up lap now

  • Superbikes heading out now
