making his way to second position by the third lap of the race. At that point, he was determined to close the near five second gap to Dunham in the lead, and he brought it to within one second as the white flag was flown. Harris scored the fastest time of the entire moto on the penultimate lap, inching within half a second of the lead, but he wasn’t able to make the pass before the check- ered flag and he settled for a brilliant second place finish that kept him directly in contention for the title. Harris experienced a complete replica of the first race at the start, finding himself back in fifth place on the opening lap. The youngster was able to learn from the first moto and used his superior pace to carve through the pack with ease, jumping up to second position in just one lap. The Cobra rider clung to the rear fender of Dunham at the halfway point and made his move into the lead just in time for the white flag, setting the fastest lap of the race in the process. At that point, he put the hammer down and stormed away to a three second victory, stamping his authority on the class with an impressive ride to the championship.
