In Formula Open, Myles Bromley (Dallara F308/11) led from the outset of Race 2, however there was a safety car at the end of Lap 1 when Arthur Abrahams (Ralt RT4) spun onto the infield at Turn 11.
After the race resumed, Beau Russell (F308/11) pulled a bold move at Turn 1 on the similarly mounted Ryan MacMillan to grab second. It didn’t last though, for some laps later Russell had a wild spin off at Turn 7 which resulted in another Safety Car under which the race finished.
Bromley won from MacMillan, Kyle Evans (F308/11), state Formula Race Cars’ Rod Baker (Dallara F399), Issac McNeill (Tatuus T014 F4), Matt Roesler (Tatuus FT-50) and Doug Barry (Formula Holden Reynard 92D).
The feature race was initially led by Bromley until he was passed by MacMillan. Third went to Evans from Baker, McNeill, Roesler, Lawrence Katsidis (F304), Jay Hamilton and Barry.
