A Main is a green light with Lines getting away from Lacey who is running the high line followed by Dumnsey and McFadden. McFadden looked quick carrying a lot of car speed from the outset.
McFadden takes second from Lacey on the pole line into T3 with Dumnsey also getting past Lacey to move into 3rd. The high line didn’t seem to work for Lacey as he found himself dropping back.
Lines and co started lapping cars after 7 which helped the cause of Green. Dumnsey slowed by a lapped car found Green going around the outside to take third.
Anderson loops it in T3 to bring on the yellows. Positions reverted back to the previous lap which put Green behind Dumnsey.
With 17 to go Lines once again jumped clear on the re-start followed by McFadden, Dumnsey, Green, Vogels and Lacey.
McFadden and Dumnsey swapped positions for several laps until Dumnsey was able to make a move stick and take a clear 2nd and then followed behind Lines putting a pass on the champ in T3 to take the lead. McFadden followed in Dumnsey and had a shot at Lines for 2nd. The two swapped positions for several laps until McFadden go wide on T4 allowing Green to move into 3rd and then into 2nd passing Lines.
Max now a clear leader cruised on to win the A-Main with Green coming home second. A high running McFadden passed Lines on the final turn to take 3rd in what was a fantastic race.
South Australian #27 Daniel Pestka won the overall series from another South Aussie Trevor Green with Australia #1 James McFadden third overall.
Next Meeting for the sprintcars at Warrnambool is a day meeting on the 14th April starting 3.00pm

Egel and Dave Challons involved in a major incident in turn 1. Both cars completely wrecked and doubtful for the rest of the night. For Challons that is the second wreck of the weekend after wrecking his car at Avalon on Friday night. Challons roll cage is actually snapped which is testament as to how severe the accident was. Premier speedway officials were required to repair the catch fence in turn 1 before the resumption of heat 6.

34th Easter Sprintcar Trail
Here at Warrnambool for the final round of the Easter Sprintcar Trail.
South Australian Daniel Pestka comes into the night leading the series with a 2nd place at Avalon Friday night and again at Mt Gambier last night.
Victorian Dennis Jones is in 2nd followed by another South Australian Matt Egel.
Steven Lines was successful at Mt Gambier last night after a monumental crash at Avalon the previous night and picked up 3rd quickest in the time trial tonight.
Local hero Max Dumnsey secured quick time with a blistering 10.117 lap followed by the winner of the Avalon night Trevor Green with Lines 3rd quickest.
The warm up session was halted after Eddie Lumbar put his NSW36 car upside down into the fence in turn 3. With speeds reaching 160kph at the end of the straight and averaging 145+ kph per lap there is no room for mistakes here.
