Daniel Stauffer took the first race win, Kevin Curtain just managed to get Josh Brookes on the line for the second race win.  The battle was well and truly set for an exciting race three.

Mat Mladin got a good start this time and led them through turn 1, the Stauffer boys close behind with Curtain, Baird and Brookes.  Curtain quickly moved through on Jamie Stauffer for 3rd.

Jamie Stauffer got through on Mladin for the lead at half race distance, Daniel also got through a corner later relegating Mladin to 3rd.  Brookes and Baird immediately started pressuring Mladin also.  Coxhell and Curtain were running 6th and 7th respectively.

Daniel took the lead from Jamie the next lap around, Brookes right on the Bio-Magnetic pair, Mladin still close in 4th.  Jamie takes the lead again on the next time down the main straight after Daniel touched some dirt.  Josh Brookes then squeezed under Daniel at turn 3 in a forceful move to take 2nd.  Brookes looking determined to take a win.

Josh Brookes took the lead around the back of the circuit, then Jamie Stauffer got him straight back.  It was still Jamie from Josh and Daniel as they got the last lap board.  Josh lighting up the Fireblade on the exit of the corners to try and challenge Jamie, then he went around the outside in the sweeper to take the lead, an awesome move and leads on to the straight, the bigger capacity Yamaha powered past on the straight to take the win by one-hundredth of a second.  Fantastic race, and one in which Brookes was pipped on the line for the win once again.

Kevin Curtain's 7th place finish was enough to clinch him the FX Tri-State Series.  He had already wrapped up the 600 SuperSport title earlier in the weekend which means he has taken out both titles, a magnificent performance all year from Kevin Curtain.  But not only that he put in some great showings up the front in World SuperSport.  He has definitely been clocking up plenty of frequent flyer miles this year and gaining plenty of seat time.  Well done Kevin Curtain.
