Mike Trahar Takes Wild Bunch Win.

Keilor/Vic, Aus. 28th February 2017. The Australian Wild Bunch Association rolled into Calder Park Drag Racing as the support category for round 1 of the 2017 Australian Pro Street Association series. Although the car count was down due to recent and future racing commitments the Wild Bunch racers put on an entertaining day for the limited number of spectators that did make the journey out to Calder Park on Saturday.
Mike Trahar driving the multi coloured Studebaker put in a perfect race day finishing on top of the time sheets after qualifying and then followed that up with 3 wins from 3 starts to be the first driver to make the final. Up against Trahar in the final was Wild Bunch promoter Mark Hunt driving the now familiar yellow Ford Cuzzi. 
Hunt had a solo win in round 2 and a win in round 3 against Drago Nikodjevic to move into the final ahead of Jason Keily and John Mol who each had 2 wins from 3 starts. Hunt managed to be the closest to his dial in for his round 3 pass without going under the nominated time. For the record, Hunt was .013 away from his dial in compared to Keily (.352) and Mol (.430).
Trahar was the standout at Swan Hill and continued that form into the Calder round to now lead the series from Jason Keily and John Mol. The next tentative round for the Wild Bunch is the April round of the APSA series at Adelaide International Raceway.
