Lee's younger brother, Jaye, was also competing in the support races but unfortunately took a nasty looking tumble in his first ride, which resulted in an ambulance trip to the local hospital.
It is thought that he suffered severe bruising but fortunately nothing serious appears to have been broken.
The final was won by Grand Prix rider and ex Hammer, Leigh Adams, who has now won the Australian Championship on no fewer than seven occasions.
