In heat 1, James Mann made a bright start but a mistake on the 3rd lap pushed him back to last place, while British Bulldog Barlow took the win while Mad Dog Shawn McConnell kept Venegas back in 3rd place.

The real surprise of the qualifying heats and indeed the Main Final toady was the form of Kelly Kerrigan who with a 1st and a 2nd place ensured his place on the front line in the Main Final.

James Mann who had two poor qualifying rides partially redeemed himself in the last chance by coming through from the back row to claim his place in the Main Final.

It was however Anthony Barlow who made the start in the Final and maintained the lead for all 6 laps to claim his 3rd win of the Season (Venegas had 5, McConnell 3 and Mann the other one) but all the action took place behind him, none more so than in the final yards when approaching the line, Kerrigan, riding mid track and Venegas going around the outside came together with Venegas just managing to hold onto his bike going across the line but crashed on the 1st bend. McConnell coming up strong on the inside thought he had done enough to claim a podium place. Referee Graham Reeve after viewing the video replay confirmed the Podium as Barlow, Kerrigan and Venegas.

Supertrapp’s Dash for Cash was once again the talking point as the local Quad Riders lined up in an attempt to beat the contracted Riders and in doing so earn themselves a $500 bonus if they won the Meeting. No-one was more fired up than Frank Felder who won the money the previous night and Washington’s Lance Hallworth who had also made the Podium the previous night.

Needless to say the racing was of the highest standard and action all the way as early as heat 1 when again Felder got the better of the 2009 Champion, Nathan Siegel and local joy continued in Heat 2 when Hallworth also collected a win, this time from the Series 2nd placed Quad Rider, Anthony Barlow.

Sheffield’s Ben Warburton, showed tenacity in his ride by winning from Chris Hall and in Heat 4 it was James Mann’s turn to shine as he also won his Heat.

The second round of qualifying heats produced a situation where 5 Riders (Mann, Barlow, Siegel, Felder and Hall) all tied on 2nd place overall with 5 points each having each gained a Win and a Second place in their Heats, the exception being Hallworth who with 2 wins was guaranteed his place on pole position in the Final.

At the ballot Hall and Felder were the lucky ones and were seeded to join Hallworth while, Siegel, Barlow and Mann all took their place on the Front Row of the Last Chance where again it was Warburton who caught the eye as he came through from the Back Row to grab a Main Final place.

In the twice re-run Main it was Hallworth who sped away from the chasing pack and stayed in the lead for the 6 laps but when Hall suffered engine trouble on the back straight it was Barlow on whom Lady Luck shone as he came through to get 2nd place to make up for his disappointment of the previous night when he missed out by inches.
