Dunn was lucky to escape unhurt in a multiple pile-up at the first corner in race two, but his pit crew had to straighten a foot peg that had been flattened by another bike.
Haddock was not so fortunate; the 18-year-old from Portadown, Co Antrim suffered a broken left fibia in the big crash.
Cut to just four laps because of time restrictions, Dunn was challenged for victory by Hodge, who was just over a tenth of a second down at the finish. Hawkes was third again.
Dunn leads at the half way stage of the competition on 90 points, seven ahead of Hodge, with Mike McLean, the 22-year-old from Brampton, Cumbria, who was leading coming into the meeting, third on 72 after finishing fifth and sixth.
Lee Dickinson, the 30-year-old satellite engineer from Stanfree, Derbyshire, stormed to victory in round three of the Replicast-BikeSport News 250cc British Championship, to stretch his lead in the series to 22 points. Dickinson riding his old bike, the ex-Chris Walker 1993 model Malcolm Hobbs-Gailmain Ltd Honda RS250, instead of the newer bike he had ridden earlier in the season, dominated the meeting. He was fastest in qualifying and then raced to victory well clear of Andrew Sawford (St Neots Motorcycles Yamaha) in the 15-lap event.
Dickinson had led the pack away from the line, but Sawford, the 29-year-old from Sandy, Bedfordshire, took over at the front on lap four.
Dickinson then came close to disaster when his crash helmet hit the trackside straw bales at the Foulston chicane. But after regaining his composure he caught and passed Sawford on lap eight. Dickinson crushed Sawford’s challenge in the last three laps as he ruthlessly carved his way past tail-enders, stretching a lead of just over a second to more than three and a half at the chequered flag.
Alex Kenchington (Dennis Trollope Racing Yamaha), the 23-year-old from Wellington, Somerset was with the other two in the opening stages, but lost ground to finish third, three seconds further back.
At the halfway stage of the eight-round series Dickinson now has 71 points, 22 more than Kenchington, with Sawford climbing to third place in the standings on 43.
Jonathan Lodge (Earnshaws Motorcycles Honda) followed his younger brother James Lodge home for a family 1-2 in the ACU Dunlop Tyres 125 Open MotoStar Championship race. That second place keeps the 20-year-old from Holmfirth, Yorkshire firmly at the top of the points’ table on 115, but his 18-year-old brother has cut the 54 points gap to 24.
James was riding the specially tuned Ryan Saxelby tuned Honda RS125 he has raced in the British 125 Championship and the combination of talented rider and quick motorcycle was too good for the rest. Despite being cut from the scheduled eight-laps to five because of an incident, he had opened a lead of close on five seconds over his brother.
Jonathan had to ride hard to keep his second spot as he came under intense pressure from Ben McConnachie (Trickbits Honda).
McConnachie, the 15-year-old from Ashover, Derbyshire, was a mere one tenth of a second behind at the finishing line, on his standard-engined machine, to notch his first victory in the separate Colin Appleyard 125 Academy Cup series.
Six seconds behind him was James East (Honda), the 17-year-old from Royston, Herts, who was fourth overall and second in Academy Cup, with Adam Dudley (Chase Engineering Honda), the 17-year from Dudley, West Midlands on another standard-engined machine, hot on his heels.
Mike Edwards (BSK Racing Honda), the 20-year-old local racer from nearby Tarporley, Cheshire was third home in the 125 class, which lifted him into third place in the standings.
Martin Glossop (Honda) had to start the race from the very back of the grid after being forced out of qualifying with carburetion problems before he had done a lap.
The 17-year-old from Bristol charged through the pack to finish tenth overall and sixth in his class to stay at the top of the Academy Cup class on 71, but what was a 14 points’ lead is now down to six over East, who has climbed to second in the standings.
Both the Motrac Racing Sports Production 125cc and Sports Production 80cc classes had two points’ scoring races, to make up for the rained-off Silverstone round.
James Folkard (Orrel Park Aprilia), the 15-year-old from Liverpool stormed to the top of the bigger class after winning both events and playing his double-points’ scoring Joker in one of them.
He now has 75 points, five more than Peter Sutherland (Kinpac Racing Aprilia), the 15-year-old from Glasgow, who managed a sixth and a ninth in his two outings.
It is getting tight at the top of the table, though, with John Blackshaw (Aprilia), the 15-year-old from Warrington, Cheshire, second in both races climbed to third on 60 points, three more than George Hogton-Rusling, the 15-year-old from Rotherham, Yorkshire, who was third home in each event.
This was a race meeting that 13-year-old Tom Weeden, from Maidstone, Kent will never forget. The schoolboy made a good start in his first 80cc race, but was passed by both Edward Rendell (Conti) the 15-year-old from Chelmsford and Christian Peck, the 16-year-old from Ormskirk, Lancashire, to finish third.
In the next race Weeden was only third away, but launched a last-lap attack to snatch his very first victory in the class.
This was his last race wearing the orange bib of a novice and the victory hoists him from second to first in the standings, on 73, eight more than Rendell.
Nick Crowe and Daniel Sayle (A and J Groundworks LCR Honda) certainly spiced things up in their first race in this year's Yokohama ACU FSRA British F2 Sidecar Championship with a clear victory at Oulton Park, eventually finishing over five seconds clear of championship leaders John Holden and Andy Winkle(D&A Walmsley LCR Suzuki) with Simon Neary and Stu Bond (Neary Racing Baker Yamaha) a further nine seconds back in third.
