MX1 Back to Back Race 1
Empire Kawasaki's Dylan Long raced to the holeshot in the opening back to back moto in the MX1 class closely followed by DPH Motorsport Husqvarna's Todd Waters, while his championship rival Monster Energy CDR Yamaha's Luke Clout exited the second turn in 10th position.
After lap one, Waters made a move into first position, followed by Long, with Yamaha Yamalube's Richie Evans in third, with Clout working his way up to 7th.
Clout continued to work his way forward, though was coming under pressure from Privateer Jesse Dobson, until Dobson had a decent get off. Clout then made his move around Empire Kawasaki's Lawson Bopping for 5th.
As the race wound day, Gibbs moved his way by Long for second position, while Gibbs team-mate Clout moved into 4th after passing Evans.
At race end, Waters held on for a comfortable win over Gibbs, with Long rounding out the top three.
MX1 Back to Back Race 2
In an ominous sign for the competition, it was Waters who claimed the holeshot at the start of the second back to back race and quickly started to check out.
Clout put his championship hopes back on track, quickly moving into second position for a heads up race with Waters.
Clout was able to close the gap to Waters and start to pressure for the lead, with Davey Motorsports KTM Caleb Ward held down third position.
At race end, Waters held on for the win, ahead of Clout, with Gibbs passing Ward late in the race for third.
The move by Gibbs actually helped Wates championship hopes, as the move meant Gibbs finished second overall in the back to back moto format, leaving Clout third and with Waters winning he increased his championship lead to 9 points with three full motos remaining for the weekend.

MX1 Moto 3
Todd Waters continued his great day claiming the holeshot in the final MX1 moto for the afternoon.
Championship rival Clout quickly worked his way into third place behind Evans, but a mistake near the conclusion of the opening lap left Clout on the ground and at the back of the field.
Privateer Zak Small moved into third position, followed by Gibbs and Penrite Honda's Brett Metcalfe who was seen at the front of the field for the first time for the day.
Dobson who crashed out of the first race earlier in the day was a man on a mission, moving his way past both Metcalfe and Evans to take over third spot, but as quickly as he moved forward Dobson was falling through the field after tucking his front end in a turn for his second big crash for the day.
On the same lap, Clout had another issue, with a second crash pushing him all the way back to 16th position.
Long who finished third in the opening morning of the day continued his excellent form, closing in on Evans before making the pass for 4th.
At the halfway mark of the race, Waters continued to hold a solid two-second lead over Gibbs, with Metcalfe in third coming under pressure from a fast-charging Long, who eventually made a move into third.
For championship, hopeful Clout things were not looking much better still down in 13th position.
At race end it was a comfortable win for Waters ahead from Gibbs, also giving the duo first and second for the round with Long's third in the final moto being enough to provide him with third overall for the round.
Clout finished the race down in 10th position, and in doing so dropping a further 14 points to Waters, giving Waters a handy 23 point lead heading into the final two motos of the 2019 championship.
