Daniel Stauffer took the first race win for the day and went straight in to the transporter for some massage work on his injured shoulder, his niggling injury causing some problems on the change of direction.  Kevin Curtain had the pace in race 1 but the last lap fall put an end to his chance of victory, the series leader will be out to make amends for that in race 2.

Jamie Stauffer got a great start again, followed by Kevin Curtain and Daniel Stauffer.  Daniel had to stand it up in turn 2 though after clipping the back of another rider.  Jamie Stauffer and Kevin Curtain immediately then set about building a buffer on the fight for 3rd which was being waged between Brookes and Coxhell.  Brookes got the better of Coxhell on lap 2 and tagged on to the back of Kevin Curtain.

But Curtain responded to the Brookes challenge by slipping past Jamie Stauffer for the lead on the run in to turn 1 on lap 3.  The leading five, Curtain, Jamie, Brookes, Coxhell, Baird had a significant gap over Dan Stauffer, Mat Mladin and Tony Rees.  Jamie Stauffer fell on lap 3 which left Curtain to fight it out with Josh Brookes for the win.  Robbie Baird in a clear 3rd spot, Daniel Stauffer and Mat Mladin running 4th and 5th with a couple of laps remaining, Coxhell 6th.

Josh Brookes was really pushing the Honda-Dunlop combination hard to try and make a move on Curtain.  Daniel Stauffer was pressuring Baird for 3rd, Mladin not far behind in 5th, Coxhell close also in 6th but the fight for the win was clearly a battle between two riders, Kevin Curtain and 19-year-old Joshua Brookes.

Brookesy did a great move under Curtain on the brakes to take the lead and immediately pulled a couple of lengths over Kev, maybe the series leader is not game to tussle with young Brookes when the title is on the line.  Taking nothing away from Brookes though as he has been putting the lap times in and pushing extremely hard.  But it was Curtain who got the draft on to the straight and powered past Brookes to take the win on the line.  A disappointment for Brookes but he did come away with a second place and a new lap record, 1m33.01.
