  • 1359 - Exciting battle for second place with no quarter given, it might even end in tears...
  • 1358 - Two laps to run and Andrews has over 7 seconds on his pursuers. Trounson is back up to second place ahead of Quinn
  • 1357 - Andrews is clearly a cut above the rest here today. He has done most of the season on a GSX-R that was a few years old and there looks to be no stopping him now he is on the latest model.
  • 1355 - Andrews has backed it off a little now he enjoys a five second buffer, he did a 58.2 on his second lap to better his qualifying time by half a second
  • 1353 - Andrews pulling away to the tune of 1.5 seconds a lap.  Local rider John Brewster has got up to third place behind Quinn who has promoted himself into second place 
  • 1351 - Ian Andrews uses his pole position to good effect to lead the field through turn one and by the time he had finished half a lap he had already started streaking away from the field on his new GSX-R600 while Chris Trounson and Josh Houwen tussled over second place
  • 1349 - Superstockers away on their warm up lamp
  • 1344 - Think the Superstock boys that went down were Chris Panayi and Ben Scott. Gravel and things still being cleared before the restart gets underway
  • 1339 - Superstock race one away, two riders down early on and red flag is out before they had finished half a lap.
