After an intense day of practice and demonstrations Gordon started the night off by taking his 2010 KXF 250 chassised KX 250 motored hybrid to a holeshot and gate to flag victory in the first British Open Qualifying race which ensured a route directly into the final.
Next up for GC was the International Open Pro Class qualifying race where a reasonable start seen him run 5th early in the race, by the flag he had made it to 3rd and again a safe route through to the International Pro Open Final, the last race of the night.
Lining up for the British Final Jack Burnicle was touting Gordon as pre race favourite, hard charging David Goosen from South Africa was having a great night on the Jonny Rea Racing Honda and Kristian Whately LPE Kawasaki also looked to be a threat if he could get out of the gate.
After a long evenings racing there was just the 15 lap main International Pro Open Class Final to run, Gordon lined up against names such as Mike Brown, Zach Osborne, Colton Facciotti, Ben Lamay and Ryan Blizzard.
A strong start placed him in 5th on the first lap, after making his way through to 3rd he was coming under attack from the hard charging American Zach Osborne on the Utag Yamaha, after Zach had made a pass, Gordon immediately returned the favor with a firm but fair block pass onto the start straight.
By the flag Gordon had finished a fantastic second only the distance of the start straight behind Downtown Mike Brown and put himself in a great position to challenge for this International Pro Open title as well as the British Open Title.
Gordon would like to say a big thank you to all the guys who have helped bring this deal together for the Future West series, Paul Bird Motorsport Kawasaki, Leo his mechanic, Phillip Coulter at No Fear, Ricky at Norman Watt Motorcycles and his other long term sponsors Bridgestone Tyres, Gaerne Boots, Oakley Goggles, Gavin Boyd and fonaCAB.
Next Event for Gordon will be Round 2 of the series which is also at the NEC Arena Birmingham this coming Saturday evening - 5th December.
