Lewis Rollo mastered the conditions in the opening Pirelli National Superstock race, taking victory by five seconds. The action packed race saw Billy McConnell grab the holeshot ahead of Chrissy Rouse, with Rollo in third at the end of the opening lap.
The wet circuit proved a tough race, but taking the lead on lap three, Rollo was able to edge away from the pursuing pack to take victory. Davey Todd eventually secured second place ahead of Tim Neave. Shane Richardson was fourth, ahead of Alex Olsen, who closes to within 14 points of the series lead.
