2nd Lap Pitstop

Jefferies and Moodie in together

Moodie gets out first.

Lougher in and out very quickly

Scratch follows Lougher into the pits

Looks like Bruce Anstey is pulling himself up the leaderboard with reports that he is now in second place in front of Moodie.

Last lap through Glen Helen the plates tell the story on the road. It is Moodie leading Jefferies but on timing it looks very different. Lougher looks to have a comfortable lead followed by Anstey and then Moodie with Jefferies possibly in 7th.

Jefferies is in 6th place at Glen Helen on time.

Now it's up and over the mountain for Lougher for what looks like it could be a good win for the Welshman, if he just takes it steady.

Moodie first over the line

Other positions still being worked out.
