The
Stauffer brothers got flyers from the start and led the field through
the first turns. Craig McMartin fell heavily at turn 2 but
looked okay. Kevin Curtain was in 3rd from Mat Mladin.
Craig Coxhell and Josh Brookes tussling over fifth.
Curtain
got through on Jamie Stauffer for 2nd on lap 2 and then took the lead
from Daniel crossing the line to start lap 3. Mladin pounced at
turn 2 by taking Jamie Stauffer, and also showed a wheel to Daniel.
Daniel was not intimidated though and pulled a few bike lengths back
on Mat almost immediately.
Jamie also got
through on Mat a lap later as young Josh Brookes caught on to the back
of Mladin and started showing the three-time American champion a wheel
at every turn, he then got under Mat in to turn 2 with a couple of
laps remaining.
Up front Kevin Curtain was under the lap
record and was just managing to hold off the Bio-Magnetic Stauffer
duo. Quite a distance back to Josh Brookes and Mat Mladin
battling for 4th.
As they got the last lap board Josh
Brookes was holding down a clear fourth from Mladin, Mat was also
being chased down by another teenage sensation, Craig Coxhell.
Daniel Stauffer got Kevin Curtain for the lead around the back of the
circuit on the final lap, then Kevin slid out of contention leaving
the Bio-Magnetic boys to take a brilliant 1-2, Daniel the victor.
Curtain managed to climb back aboard and salvage 10th spot.
