Litten faced early opposition from Greg Hu bbs, bu t once Utten found the fast lines on his home track, there was no stop ping him . Tim Peck had his wo rk cut out for him in the 25+ class, as he had a bad cras h earlie r in the 30+ class and was still a little shak en up . Gerry Bennett pressed Peck early in both motes, but Peck eventually prevailed and took the overa ll win.
