Friday and Sunday nights racing was packed with action as drivers competed in several major events culminating with the Late Models 50 Lap Final.

Results:

LATE MODELS

18 cars started the 50 lap final of the late Models commencing with a thundering  3 wide salute, 3 laps down and a four car pile up in turn 2 brought on the yellow. Barry Kelleher in N65  retired infield with damage and 16 year old Blake Everleigh in N44 sustained front and rear damage rupturing the fuel system and forcing him infield. N15 Nathan Smee had contact with the back straight fence at the same time relegating him rear of field along with S21 Darryl Launer and S12 Andrew Launer.

 With several race stoppages and $5,000 to win the race became fearce. Front runners didn’t want to give up their positions, many being sent rear for racing incidents and concern for fuel amount was apparent. With only 6 cars surviving  N99 Ben Nicastri took the chequered flag in 1st with V26 Gary Bryans 2nd and in 3rd place Mildura’s very own Cameron Waters in V98.
