Breuning led the small field to the green flag tonight. The five drivers engaged in close and fair racing all race long, with a few yellows to bunch them right back up when someone messed up. On the final lap it was Erter leading ahead of Wilson and Breuning, who tried to go through the middle going into turn 3. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough room for this ‘dash for the cash’ move and everyone got caught up in the melee. Wilson survived with the least damage and drove across the line in first, with Breuning following on 3 wheels. Erter was too damaged like the rest, but was classified as 3rd, with Smithem and Peterson respectively scoring 4th and 5th with the same fate.

Mike Erter and Don Warren occupied the front row at the beginning of an epic battle amongst them, Marc Breuning and Bill Smithem – with Chris Brown in the mix for a bit as well. The race was run without cautions. Breuning had the fastest pitstop, but Erter, Warren and Smithem soon caught up again. At the end, it was 4 wide to the finish with Warren inching ahead on the outside and taking the win from Erter by 0.003, with Breuning third at 0.092 and Smithem 4th at 0.103. Safe to say that’s the closest the top 4 had ever finished. Andrew Forrester brought it home in a solid 5th.

Rod Potgieter put himself on the pole with Breuning alongside; They battled for the lead for a few laps until Potgieter spun out of the hairpin and Breuning, taking over the lead, crashed a lap later exiting turn one. Danny Passmore took over and also messed up, leaving the way open for Bill Smithem. Potgieter, who drove a battered machine but didn’t need to stop, held on to 2nd, with Ian Wilson proving ‘easy does it’ actually does it and got him 3rd. Breuning managed to take 4th and Wardlow rounded out the top 5.

Pole sitter Marc Breuning had a tech issue while gridding, so he started from the pitlane behind everyone else. Don Warren took the lead ahead of Rod Potgieter. It took Breuning about half the race to work his way to the lead, but then a slow pitstop put him behind leader Warren again and he couldn’t make up for it in the final ten laps. Warren to the victory, Potgieter was 3rd. Phil Peterson and Larry Eaglen rounded out the top 5, having had a good race between each other and Andrew Forrester, who had to settle for 11th at the end due to a spin.
