Dean Harrison, now racing onboard Kawasakis for Silicone Engineering also went home with the Bob Smith Spring Cup trophy from the flagship race of the weekend.

He had to fight for it though as Irishman Lee Johnston got a flyer from the start and led for much of the race until Harrison picked off second place and eventually caught Johnston in the eight-lap thriller.
