National series with five more nationals and two trophy races to finish off the season.

Zahkie Iris won his 27th race in the 50cc class to take his point lead to 162 over Geordie Wall. Chad Sutherland, who finished second, is third overall in the points standings.

Gary Cann won his 10th hat-trick in the 65cc class while Tullio Escolastica was second with two runner-up placings. Jonte Smith got caught up twice in start line falls but rebounded to a fourth overall. Cann, Escolastica and Grant are the top 65cc point leaders with 35 points separating first from third.

In the 50cc class Gary Cann was the top rider, going on to win two races against Aaron Cannonier, who won the last. Anthony Grant put in a respectable showing in his first ride in the 80cc class where he broke into second for a few laps but still had to settle for fourth behind Chris Perinchief.

Although not running for the lead, the trio of Maurice Simons, Randy Munro and Gary Blackwell had their own personal battle to be the best. If Cann continues to rack up the wins it's possible he could wind up with two Pepsi National titles. Perinchief is second in points with the current 80cc number one, Aaron Cannonier, third.

Aaron Anderson was one of two new riders among the 125C class to turn heads on Sunday. Anderson, who last rode on the 80cc class 15 years ago, `hole-shot' all all his motos and held off challengers for five laps until fatigue set in and held him to sixth overall.

Craig Ferguson was third with Jimmy-Lee Weaver marking his 125 debut with two wins for second. Treadwell Nesbitt was the winner and the 125C points leader, while Craig Panchaud had an off-day due to shock problems. He is 39 points behind with Steven Oughton a further 56 back in third overall.

Jamel Pitcher was the big winner in the 125B class. After dueling with Aaron Pace in race one, Pace would later crash out as Pitcher completed his first hat-trick this year.

Wentworth Tucker rode to second place, with Kyle Constable third after a two-year absence. In the Pepsi points Tucker takes the lead with American rider Dave Oettel second. Jamel Pitcher is in third.
