| In Leg 1 of the A-Main, Dominic faced early pressure from Eugene but he was able to defend his lead. Unfortunately, Eugene suffered from a technical problem 7 laps in, allowing Dominic to take the win by a 1-lap margin as Colin stepped up to take 2nd, with Leonard Sim finishing 3rd. In Leg 2, Eugeneâ™s quick start once again forced Dominic to defend his position early on. With plenty of respect between the 2 youngsters, Dominic managed to pull a gap in the 2nd half of the race to take the win by a 6-second margin. Eugene finished a strong 2nd, one lap up on 3rd placed Colin. |

Eugene once again started strong and was on course for a win when he rolled in the later stages, allowing Colin to close the gap. With 30 secs to go, Colin executed an excellent side-by-side pass right at the line to go into the lead. While there was some contact between the pair, the move was deemed a fair one. A couple of turns later, the technical gremlins re-visited Eugene, benefitting Chee Lip Keong who moved up and finished 2nd. Eugene hung on to finish 3rd and take his first podium for the season. |
