The Honda junior extreme class also produced some exciting action, with Jack Kelly claiming the opening heat, George Molyneux heat two and Saul Bawden heat three.

The finals again saw some great racing throughout the 13 laps as Kelly got off to a good start into the first bend and continued to lead, although hot on his bumper was Bawden and Molyneux.

The junior Rotax class sponsored by Gregg Memorials Ltd witnessed some close racing between Eddie Dillon and Jayjay Plowman, with the latter taking the opening heat and Dillon the last two.

There was some intense racing through the Honda senior extreme class sponsored by MES Ltd.

In the end, no one was able to catch him and he duly took victory some 3.607 seconds clear of the rest.

Behind him was some good racing through the field, but it was Lee Hill and Chris Drinkwater who took the remaining podium positions. Special mention also to Leo Murphy who was making his debut appearance in the class and improved on his lap times throughout.
