Tonight was a CAT 4 only race represented by Chris Fowler and Peter Kucak from Rockingham Forest Wheelers. With the international course split for the CAT 4 and CAT 2/3 scratch races the CAT 4 race was contested on the 0.9 mile youth lap. Weather conditions made it a hard race with strong winds and periods of rain making the conditions on the track slippery and awkward. The start of the race seen a breakaway rider from the off who managed to stay away for the win, he was followed closely by another breakaway group consisting of 4 riders. The main bunch was fractured at times with riders reluctant to take the front and battle the head winds and cautious round the corners with one rider coming down in the last part of the race making it an edgy finish. Chris came through to finish 8th in the bunch sprint followed closely by Peter in 9th.
