Manfield saw a day of ups and downs for the riders in the 600 Supersport class. First race the two front riders are alledged to have jumped the start and the race penalty of twenty seconds is now under appeal. This put Midge Smart from England in first place with John Ross in second and Nick Cole in third.

It was an exciting race to watch especially the guys in 4th to 10th placing changing places serveral times through out the race. Up front saw a battle between Glen Scketchill, James Smith, Midge Smart, John Ross and Sam Love. A protest was put in that John Ross had passed Sam Love under a yellow flag and he was also penalised twenty seconds. This was corrected later in the day with John being reinstated to second place.

The second race of the 600's got off to a fierce start as you could imagine. Glen Sketchill and James Smith out front followed by Midge, Nick and John Ross. Three laps later as they went into the fourth lap the race was red flagged due to a big highside by Jamie Galway who broke his femur. At the time three ambulances were in attendance as there was thought to have been some injury to his back also but it turned out fortunately to be ba bruising. The race could not be restarted withing half an hour so the race was declared at three laps and half points awarded.

Going into the final round at Hampton Downs on the 27/28th March has Nick and James fighting it out for first position with Nick at this stage 2 1/2 points in front of James. This is subjected to the appeal at this stage.
