Hel Performance/Bournemouth Kawasaki’s Jack Kennedy took victory in style at a scorching Snetterton after a race long battle with Ben Currie ended on the final lap, with Kyle Smith third.
It was Lee Johnston who grabbed the holeshot, but Ben Currie led the way after the opening lap ahead of Smith and Johnston. Championship battler Brad Perie crashed out on the opening lap after coming together with Harry Truelove.
On lap four it was Dynavolt Triumph’s Kyle Smith who took over at the front from Currie, but as they began to battle both Lee Johnston and Jack Kennedy joined the leading two to make it a four man dice for the lead. Former Champion Kennedy then hit the front on half-race distance and began to move forward, posting the fastest lap of the race, pulling seventh tenths of a second lead, but Currie quickly began to close the gap with five laps remaining.
Currie then hit the front with three laps to go, but Kennedy wasn’t going down without a fight, with the pair battling it out until the final lap where Kennedy got the better of the Australian, with Smith taking third
