1000 . Superstock Race
Dan Linfoot doubled the lead for a second of two at Knockhill as he beat Richard Kerr to win the second race.
Third place went to Alastair Seeley, with Billy McConnell finally taking fourth place after a tough four-way battle and Franco Bourne finishing fifth.
Billy McConnell – P4
“It’s been great to have two solid finishes across the board after running DNF’s and even though the results weren’t what we wanted – especially after finishing first and second here last year – we’ve got two. solid racing. Missed the test here a few weeks ago, we played catch up and my team and I were constantly making changes to try and improve the setup, which we did. It was hard to squeeze it all out in the amount of time we had but we left every time we went out. We want to go further, but we also don’t want to be on the deck, so we’ll take the results this weekend and move on to the next round..”
Tumut’s Brayden Elliott finished ninth.
