It took a little time to get back to a setup that Stacey felt comfortable on using the new bike. Stacey turned that into pole position in qualifying in AM600 with a 1m08.44s beating her previous best lap time at the track. AMSBK saw her qualify in 3rd position in the 1m09s range. The AM600 race was red flagged on the first lap which saw Stacey drop from pole to third by turn one. A terrible start in the restart saw Stacey drop to 6th position. It took a few laps to get up to second position and match the leader's lap times but the gap was too big to crawl bag. Stacey was invited to race in the Pro600 race. Starting on the second row she was able to hang make a strong pass in turn 2 to hold on to 5th position. The lead group contained 6 riders. the top three began to open a gap to 4th place but it was a good race between Stacey and two others for that position. It was a strong race crossing the line on the back wheel of a pro racer for 5th place, only 18 seconds behind the leader and improving her lap time to 1m07.9s. The final race was AMSBK. Another strong start saw Stacey move up to 2nd by turn 2 and the two at the front began to gap the rest of the field. The leader opened a small gap of about a second but Stacey got her head down and started to close by a tenth or two each lap. On the penultimate lap the leader made an error at the hairpin and Stacey took the lead holding on for the win by a four second margin. She set her best ever lap time of 1.m07.70s in the race.
