The big drama of the day was over in the 250 class. Tom Vialle was out front with both Levi Kitchen and Haiden Deegan battling for second. A track marker became lodged in Kitchen’s boot allowing Deegan to get by. Deegan claimed the holeshot in Moto 2 and carried the momentum to win. Race officials determined Vialle violated rule 1.6.20 (Track Cuts/Unfair Advantage) in Moto 1 and docked him accordingly. Deegan was moved to first place giving him a 1-1 win for the weekend.
