Rain kept Scott Nind off the track in Race 1 and Robert had to take it easy just to finish the race as he finished almost a minute behind race winner Brett Mitchell.
Race 2 – 4th
Weather conditions improved and Scott Nind finished ahead of Robert to claw back some of the points he lost in Race 1.
Race 3 – 3rd
Robert’s race could have ended before it began when he ended up spinning on the formation lap but he was able to get the #84 going again without assistance and he ended up extending his points advantage over Scott Nind in the changing conditions.
Race 4 – 3rd
Scott Nind won the race ahead of Brett Mitchell and Robert finished in third as the field had its best outing all weekend thanks to improved weather conditions.
Robert secured second in the standings by finishing twenty-one points ahead of Scott Nind (484 points to 463) showing that finishing every race is important especially when mother nature, mechanical issues or the low possibility of a crash can spring up and cause chaos.
