Paterson then went on to win the opening heat of the main saloon heat but it was Glenrothes’s Kyle Irvine who came through to win the saloon final.

In the prostock Basic formula it turned out to be quite a night for Kailum Greig from Kelty. He started off with a tenth place in the opening heat but then went on to win heat two by a comfortable margin and this proved to be his first win. When the meeting final started he quickly caught the leader and then simply drove away from the pack, going on to pick his second win of the night.
