YRD Supersport race one:
An entertaining duel at the front of the opening Supersport race saw series leader Brayden Elliott take victory, fending off a charging Callum Spriggs, Saturday clean-sweeper Michael Blair and a fast-finishing Jay Presepio. Kyle Buckley was in the mix for much of the race on his way to fifth, while Troy Guenther recovered from Saturday difficulties for sixth, with Paul Young, Rick Olson, Mitch Levy and Brad Swallows completing the top 10 finishers.

Ipone Superbike race one:
Wayne Maxwell claimed the opening race win of today after a tight battle with Troy Herfoss, however it was cut short when Herfoss ran wide in the final laps and effectively handed the race win to Maxwell. That left Maxwell to streak away ahead of YRT teammate Glenn Allerton and an impressive Sean Condon in third as the top of the Pro-Am entries, while Herfoss and Jamie Stauffer completed the top five. Sixth was Ben Burke, who made his was past Cru Halliday in the closing moments, while Matt Walters, Mike Jones and Linden Magee filled the top 10 results.

YRD Supersport race two:
The second Supersport race was red-flagged on lap three when Luke Mitchell and Kyle Buckley came together, as Mitchell was attended to by medical officials. When the seven-lap restarted race got underway it was Brayden Elliott who led the opening lap. On track Michael Blair crossed the line first, but it was Jay Presepio who was the winner on combined times. Presepio won ahead of Blair, Callum Spriggs, Paul Young, Troy Guenther, Rick Olson, Elliott, Brad Swallows, Mitch Levy and Cambridge Olivier.

Ipone Superbike race two:
Troy Herfoss claimed a commanding win in race two of the round, ahead of Mike Jones after he nabbed Jamie Stauffer for position in the closing laps. The leading trio finished in formation at race’s end, a full five seconds ahead of fourth-placed Wayne Maxwell. He fended off and improved Cru Halliday for position and Sean Condon finishing in sixth place, just ahead of the in-form Ben Burke for seventh. Completing the top 10 was Glenn Allerton, Matthew Walters and Linden Magee.

YRD Supersport race three:
The third and final race of Sunday’s Supersport action belonged to Michael Blair, which sealed him the overall after finishing 1.5s ahead of Brayden Elliott. Callum Spriggs completed the race podium, while race two winner Jay Presepio got the better of Troy Guenther for fourth. Rounding out the top 10 was Paul Young in sixth, then Rick Olson, Mitch Levy, Kyle Buckley and Luke Mitchell. The round overall was won by Blair ahead of Spriggs and Elliott, who got the nod over Presepio via his better final race finish.

Ipone Superbike race three:
Lap one of the weekend’s final race was red-flagged when Linden Magee crashed his Fireblade, resulting in a full restart for race three of the Superbikes following a slight delay. When it resumed it was Jamie Stauffer who controlled it from the outset, winning it in style ahead of a determined Wayne Maxwell who did make his way to the front at one stage, Glenn Allerton, Troy Herfoss who put himself out of the running after going wide at turn five, a racy Mike Jones, Sean Condon, Cru Halliday, Matt Walters, Matthew Harding and Evan Byles. Overall the round belonged to Maxwell from Stauffer and Herfoss on the podium.
