Shayne (38pts), after winning the equivalent Horsham round in 2004, finished fourth this year on 38pts, behind, Hurley (47),
Anderson (43) and Darryll (42), who is slowly returning to his championship-winning zeal.
With the quartet dominating the four races to date, Anderson has now accumulated 93pts, just two in advance of Hurley (91).
Then follows Darryll (82), Shayne (74) and yet another New Zealander, Peter Broxholme (CRF450R, 59pts).
Broxholme finished fifth overall in round two, ahead of two-stroke mounted Aussie surprise packet, Adam Cini (Whale's Kawasaki
XK250).
In Pro Lites race one, the irrepressible Dorron, who hasn't finished outside the top three in a Pro Lites (nee 125cc) championship
since 2000, became the first multiple winner in 2005 with a 1.823sec win over Marshall, who was followed to the chequered flag by
Queenslander Daniel Reardon (Whale's Kawasaki KX250F), lap one crasher Taylor and Danny Anderson (CRF250R).
In what was the start of an ugly day of mechanical drama for the Pro Lites armada, a number of the big names either struggled to
see out race one, or were sidelined completely. That cast included defending champion Cody Cooper (No Fear Honda CRF250R), who
briefly held the lead on lap 10 before his cam timing went awry; Mitch Hoad (Chris Watson Motorcycles YZ250F), who broke a header
pipe; 2003 national champion Troy Carroll (CDR Nokia Yamaha YZ250F), who was struggling with carburettor gremlins; and Daniel
McCoy (Motorex KTM 250SXF), whose shock collapsed when a bolt fell out.
Cooper, who won both Horsham races in 2004 and sat on pole position in 2005, laboured to ninth in race one, while New Zealander
Luke Burkhart (Shift Motul Suzuki RM-Z250) was sixth from Carroll and Marmont - the latter a crasher on the last lap while
holding down forth position.
In race two, the mechanical despair continued, with Reardon (rear shock) and Dorron (engine) both failing to last the distance,
while Carroll, Cooper and Burkhart all hit the terra firma ‰ÛÒ twice in the case of Burkhart. However, Carroll's bingle was the
biggest of them all, although the popular Toowoomba rider will be fit and ready to perform in front of vocal home crowd in two
weeks.
Despite the high attrition rate, Marmont's all-the-way win over teammate McCoy was sublime, leaving Taylor to claim the final
podium position from Marshall and hard-charger Warren Smart (CRF250R).
Seven riders have now finished on a Pro Lites podium in the opening two rounds, which is reflected in a logjammed leaderboard.
While Taylor enjoys a 16pt cushion out in front, the gap between second-placed Marshall and ninth-placed Dorron is just 12pts.
Anderson is next in line after Marshall, followed by Burkhart, Marmont, McCoy, Carroll and Smart.
