FHO Racing with Kobelco’s Alex Olsen stormed to his first win of the year as he beat Davey Todd under half a second.
From pole, Olsen took the lead at the start and despite dropping to second for a few laps behind Todd, was soon back ahead and able to eke out enough of a gap for a clear run to the line.
Todd took second, as Charlie Nesbitt made a pass on Billy McConnell in the last lap for third, leaving McConnell to pick up fourth, just ahead of Lewis Rollo.
