“I was pretty happy with my qualifying ending up third fastest MX2 behind Josh Gilbert. After all the good work in qualifying I made a bad start in my opening race.
“However I got tagged onto the back of Martin Barr and we both came through the traffic together.
“I was lying third behind Martin but fell back towards the end after making a small mistake, to take the flag in fourth.

“In the restart I was running second before I crashed out at half distance after the rider in front of me blew out the berm at a right-hander leaving no where to go.
“I got back on board and closed the leader down to finish third and give me second overall.
“I was well pleased with the day’s results and now we will chase our first win in the series at the next round at Canada Heights in July,” said Glenn.
