Excellent opening conditions produced close racing across the classes before rain brought an extra challenge to the final block. From the youngest Auto Rippers to the experienced adult competitors, there was no shortage of speed, determination and last-race drama.

Jacob Perkins took fourth ahead of Henry Chamley. Jesse Watson finished just three points behind Chamley, with Taytum Hickey another point back in seventh. Tommy Denscombe and Tommi Lewis completed the standings.

Steady Adults
Rhys Jones and Chris Mae served up an entertaining contest for the Steady Adults overall, with Jones on the two-stroke and Mae aboard the four-stroke. Mae led the opener before Jones worked his way past. A mistake from Jones then handed Mae an opportunity to regain the advantage, which he took to secure the first win.
Moto two began with another quick start from Mae, but Jones steadily closed in, made the pass and took victory. With one win and one second apiece, the overall came down to the wet final moto.
There was drama before the start when Mae had to return to the pits to retrieve his transponder, getting it fitted in time to race. Jones established the early lead but then crashed, leaving him with mud-covered gloves and grips as Mae closed the gap. He managed to get going before his rival arrived, then pulled clear to take the race win and overall victory.
Jones finished on 132 points, three ahead of Mae. Charlie Stonelake completed the podium.
Robert Howgate took fourth on the class’s only electric machine, with his appearance in the final moto helping lift him up the standings. Zach Watkins finished fifth overall after taking third in each opening race. Joel Kirkes, fourth in both opening motos, finished sixth overall. With only four riders recording points in the wet finale, the last race had a significant effect on the overall standings.
