Wow!!! What a weekend. Robbie Bugden from Australia was on fire followed by five NZ riders who you could throw a blanket over they were
so close. Practice days were hot and fast. Qualifying was the same.

2nd Sloan Frost 1.04.031
3rd John Ross 1.04.207

6th Craig Shirriffs 1.04.327
7th Hayden FitzGerald 1.04.477

Race 1 saw battles going on throughout the class but Bugden was out to the front and pulling away from the field. Stroud, Ross and Cole fought it out for the next three positions with the lead changing amongst them several times.
