It looked as though Josh Forster got a lot of wheelspin on the wet start line and the fast getaways were from the guys on the 2nd row.  After they sorted themselves out during lap 1 David Anthony led them across the line to start lap 2 from Brent George and Paul Simonson.  David Anthony held the lead and started the 3rd lap with half a second over Brent George who was basically side by side with Caleb Stalder and Paul Simonson.  Stalder put in a fast on to take the lead with a little over 3 laps to run, the lap time a 1m55.035 on a still very wet but slowly drying track.  David Anthony in 2nd at this half race distance and Brent George 3rd.  The next lap around Brent George took David Anthony for 2nd and set a new fastest lap of the race with a 1m54.556, 3-tenths quicker than race leader Caleb Stalder but at this stage he had a 1.7 second gap over George.  Brent George must have come down somewhere on the penultimate lap as when Stalder received the last lap board the next placed man was John Allen, some 4.6 seconds behind him.  David Anthony was in 3rd, from Paul Simonson and Dustin Goldsmith.  Stalder took the win by 3.1 seconds over John Allen
