Race 2.
Chili got away well, followed by Edwards. The chasing group of Hodgson, Walker, and Haga diced consistantly ,with Walker showing his colourful style of sliding the bike into the corners so he could get quick exit power. Walker and Hodgson swapped the lead over and over, Haga taking a sit back and wait attitude. The racing was tight all the way for these three. Haga tried a couple of times to pass but was pushed back in what could best be described as handlebar to handlebar combat. The two british super bikers would not give an inch.
Chili was going well- out in front with Edwards chasing until Edwards slid off into the kitty litter. Corser was another who took a trip off the track into the gravel.
Chili started having tyre trouble and the two brits urged each other on in an effort to catch him. Getting closer with every lap they slowly pulled him in, leaving Haga behind.
When Chili got into a big slide and had to fight the bike straight Hodgson slipped past on the inside followed by Walker on the outer, to take 1st and 2nd. Chili held on for 3rd.
Slight starting 13th on the grid worked his way up to 10th, When Edwards went down he was 9th, and in the closing laps he got up to 7th.
