Louis Valleley held off a hard-charging Max Cook to take the win by a mere 0.002secs after a dramatic race.
Sam Laffins grabbed the lead after a jump start, but both Valleley and Cook were on a charge, passing Laffins before he’d even been pulled in for a ride through penalty and it all culminated in a last lap scrap, with Cook making several attempts to get past Valleley before a photo-finish ruled the local rider the winner.
Franco Bourne was third, 2.649secs behind followed by Dan Brooks in fourth as Owen Jenner took fifth.
