I saw the boys in my revision mirror and thought they’d catch me for sure. It’s such a great feeling, I just need to thank Peter Burnitt and the guys at Big Gun Racing for the opportunity, I’ve had an Second year rookie Jake McNally, who started on the front row alongside Wilson, had a great race holding second until lap 9 and walked away with a top ten finish in 7th overall ahead of Ben Dunn, Ryan Hansford and his brother Rhys who rounded out the top ten.

David Sieder’s Mango Credit Ford started on pole with reigning Champ Pither in the Ice Break Holden alongside, Cameron McConville in 3rd spot, and Miedecke in 4th.

I was close to Dave at the end but he was just a little too quick for me but I’m still wrapped with second,” said Pither. Sieders was over the moon with the result, which moved him into second in the ENZED Driver’s Championship. “We wanted to be the fastest car out there, and it was great to take out the lap record. We are so happy with our result for the weekend and glad to be climbing the championship ladder,” said Sieders.
