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

  • Brendan Clarke equalled Broc Parkes' 1999 lap record with a 1m18.60, but remember that time was set when the track was very new and a lot less bumpy than it is these days

  • Red flag out, enough laps to call the race though so Clarke takes the win by 17 seconds from Coote, Malins 3rd, Quinn 4th

  • Jordan Coote benefits from the demise of Kelleher and Anthony as he now has a clear 2nd place, 2.5 seconds in front of Malins

  • Kelleher and Anthony both went down on the exit of turn 3 after fighting hard for 3rd place

  • Lap 5 and Clarke has 8.2 seconds on Coote.  Brent George having machinery problems, he has no power to stay with the pack and is dropping off rapidly

  • Jordan Coote up in to 2nd on lap 3, relegating Brent George to 3rd

  • Clarke had 4.3 seconds on his pursuers by the end of lap 2, George holding on to 2nd from Kelleher, Coote, Anthony and Quinn, that pack all running together and tussling at every corner

  • Clarke pulled a 1.9 second lead on the first lap, George 2nd, Kelleher 3rd, Coote 4th, Anthony 5th

  • Brent George got Coote for 2nd at turn 3 on lap 1

  • 250 Production is away,  Jordan Coote and Brendan Clarke got the best run off the line, Brent George 3rd
