Wow, what a night. The track fairies have truly been busy. Racers were presented with a higher drivers’ stand, new jumps and changed layout. The results were amazing. Massive thanks must go to Matthew Chandler, Sam Wells, Damien Betts and Jade Chandler for all their hard work. The changes are outstanding and make a huge difference.
With racers faced with new challenges getting around the track was a fine balance between speed and consistency and their was no shortage of highlights.
In Short Course, the Van Asperen’s again made the highlights reel, Cory getting a win and a third in the Short Course B mains to assure him an overall victory in Short Course B for the night. Cory’s older brother Dean produced a good run in the first Short Course A main to take third showing he’s got the speed to give the podium a shake. Brad Witchurch also had an excellent run in the second Short Course B main taking the win in a time that would have put him mid pack in the A main.
2WD stock always produces great racing. Jade Chandler displayed speed and consistency taking a stellar win in the second main.
