With the 16th Ave track out with computer problems and being a non points night the NASCAR bodies were put on and the racing was moved to the Kinloch track. Stu was away for work, but a welcome surprise was Paul from New Plymouth turning up to make up the 8th driver.
The track had a clean down and with a fresh spray of glue put on and the practice times looked promising for some good nights racing.
In qualifying there was only 0.7 separating the top 5 drivers and only 0.1 separating 6th,7th and 8th.
1st 15.8 Peter
2nd = 15.7 Darren
2nd = 15.7 Trevor
4th 15.3 Dan
5th 15.1 Barry
6th = 12.1 Daniel
6th = 12.1 Tony
8th 12.0 Paul
Dan's run of bad luck continued in the 1st heat with a motor going off on him, but Darren was kind enough to loan him a car and he was back racing again.With 0.2 covering the top 3 drivers and only 6.7 between 1st and 5th it was too early to guess who was going to take out the nights racing.
1st 142.4Trevor
2nd 142.3 Peter
3rd 142.2 Darren
4th 139.1 Barry
5th 135.7 Dan
6th 125.8 Paul
7th 120.7 Daniel
8th 115.4 Tony
The 2nd heat saw some close tight racing with some drivers fairing better that others. When the dust settled down it was Trevor that had come out tops. 6.5 laps covered 2nd to 5th place.
1st 149.3 Trevor
2nd 144.2 Dan
3rd 141.9 Peter
4th 140.7 Barry
5th 137.7 Darren
6th 127.4 Daniel
7th 114.2 Paul
8th 110.9 Tony
In the 3rd and last heat Darren got his nose in front and kept it there to take out the win by 0.2. Again everyone showed some great driving and there was some good racing with only a hand full of sections covering some places.
1st 147.5 Darren
2nd 147.3 Trevor
3rd 142.9 Peter
4th 140.8 Barry
5th 140.5 Dan
6th 125.1 Daniel
7th 121.4 Paul
8th 116.6 Tony
So with the all the heats added up along with the qualifying the results are as below.
1st 454.7 Trevor
2nd 443.1 Darren
3rd 442.9 Peter
4th = 435.7 Barry
4th = 435.7 Dan
