Men win Battle of the Sexes
Congratulations to the Men's team for once again winning the Repco Battle of the Sexes Saloon Car Challenge. It was the closest battle yet with the men narrowly taking the title with 83 points to the Womens 78 points. The Best in the West Saloon Car Champs were won by local driver Chris Betts (78s) after a run off with Nigel Ross (46a). Phil Towgood (48a) was third. Bevan Phillips (72s) won three from three in the thirty one car Stockcar field that produced little action of the night. The Modifieds had three visitors from Wellington to boost their numbers to eleven cars and they produced some fast paced racing. It was good to see Jason Kalin (12s) finally having some luck and picking up a win in the third race. Blair Luscombe has rebuilt the 226s car after his massive crash early in the season and was back out on the track tonight. Duane Hickman was in fine form, winning the third race in style in the Midget class and surely must rate as a chance at next weekends New Zealand Midget Championship. Both grades of Ministocks had good numbers and provided close racing throughout the night. All in all it was a good nights racing. The track looked to be in good condition with plenty of drive and very smooth, although a little dusty at times but it should be a good surface for next weekend.
Flett 3rd at NZ Stockcar Champs
Congratulations to Chris Flett for placing 3rd in the NZ Stockcar Championship held at Wanganui. The first Stratty driver to ever make it into the top three at the NZ's in the Stockcar class. Legend!
