After starting Race 1 late on Saturday following rain delays, Waters was soon moving through the field from 16th position off the grid. Within the short 7 laps he finished the race in an amazing 5th place against some of the top riders in the country.  With a progressive grid; Waters 5th Place finish in Race 1 saw him start Race 2 from 5th place. Waters was again chasing the leaders however a minor incident on the second lap saw him fall to the rear of the field.  A great recovery saw his lap times matching those of the leaders as he made his way back to 19th Place.

A consistent weekend saw Waters finish with a 5th place in Race 1, 4th place in Race 2 and 5th place in Race 3, achieving his best lap times of the weekend and giving him an overall placing of 5th for the round.
