In the Open Atv class #2 Georgie Santos on a Kawasaki had been unstoppable having swept every heat win and totally dominating so far during the first three rounds of 2022.

This allowed the #4 of defending champion Robert Bucek on a Cycles Plus Suzuki to inherit the lead and the eventual win. Heat two saw the now repaired #2 of George Santos back on the line and back out front. Santos left the field in his dust easily taking the second heat win.
