Now the series heads to Adelaide on November 16 & 17 for the penultimate round.

Emipre Kawasaki´s Luke Clout win the SX1 opening race ahead of Honda duo Dean Wilson and Aaron Tanti, while Jed Beaton (CDR Yamaha) and Savatgy rounded the Top 5. Savatgy then win Race 2 and 3 in order to take the overall win, as reigning champ Dean Wilson continues with a consistent night being 2-2-2 for 2nd overall. The podium was rounded by Clout via 1-3-5.

Savatgy leads the standings by 5 points over Wilson (72-67) and 10 over Clout.

In the SX2 class, Shane McElrath, fresh from his GP win at the WSX opening round in Vancouver one week ago, continue with his winning streak by sweeping each race. The American were followed by his teammates of Honda Racing, New Zealander and MX2 champ Brodie Connolly (3-3-3) and Canadian Cole Thompson (2-6-2).

Unfortunately, poleman Ryder Kingsford (Yamalube Yamaha) and podium contenders Alex Larwood (Froth Honda Racing) and Rhys Budd (Raceline Husqvarna T-Dub Racing) missed the three finals and valuable points due to a multiple crash in heat 1.

Meanwhile, McElrath is seven points ahead of Thompson and Connolly, both tied with 56 points.
