  • 1140 - McMartin the winner, Willis home for second place, Van Rooyen third and Johnston got the better of Taborsky on the final lap to take fourth place
  • 1138 - The order looks to be settled in this one, McMartin looks safe in front, Willis safe in second, Van Rooyen has a slight edge over the battle for fourth which was a busy tussle between Taborsky and Johnston
  • 1137 - Willis is having a go in this one, with three laps to run he is 2.6 seconds behind Ducati mounted McMartin, Van Rooyen a distant third place
  • 1136 - One of the BMW men went down at the hairpin and officials rushed to clear the stricken bike from the middle of the track, the man down Stuart Fripp but he is up and looks to be uninjured
  • 1135 - Paul Roe's Aprilia was looking very untidy under brakes and on lap two he ended up running up the escape path before coming to rest in the sand. That promoted Stuart Fripp in to third place, Van Rooyen fourth, Taborsky fifth 
  • 1134 - Pro Twins away now and again the BMW men get off the line well and Willis nearly came together with McMartin into turn one but they both remained upright, Fripp third and under attack from Paul Roe on the Aprilia
  • 1132 - Pro Twins / BEARS race up next
