Championship leader Bobby
Fong stuck the M4 Ecstar Su-
zuki on a tight pole by just 0.038
seconds from title rival Hayden
Gillim (Rickdiculous Racing
Yamaha), but he couldn't stop
Gillim taking the race-one win by
a scant 0.102 seconds.
The race was red flagged on
the first lap after Josh Hayes
(MP13 Racing Yamaha) tangled
with Fong's teammate Sean
Dylan Kelly at the Carousel,
sending the teenager hard into
the outside wall at high speed.
Xavier Zayat (Yamaha) also
crashed at the same corner.
Fong and Gillim resumed the
season-long battle of high speed
chess out front at the restart, as
they gradually pulled clear of PJ
Mathew Scholtz (11) and
JD Beach had a good
scrap in race two.
