Tonight it was the Modifieds who were challenging for their Canterbury Championship. 4c Mike Gourley was the defending champion but a DNF meant his chances were gone for a successful defence and the winner of heat 1 was West Coaster 32gm Iain Whyte. The ongoing battle of the sexes continued with 29c Glen Leech and 84c Natasha Rodgers battling for the top spot in the remaining heats. Leech won heat 2 but Rodgers got caught out with the pace of a slower car which cost her several placings. Rodgers then turned the tables with a final heat win which placed the two of them on equal points requiring a run-off. Leech got the jump from the start and never looked back forcing Rodgers to settle for 2nd overall while 33gm Robbie Brown emerged the best of the rest to accumulate enough points for the 3rd place sash.
DON (Driver Of the Night) award = Natarsha Smith took over the drivers seat tonight of hubby's 89c Superstock. Not only did she take a few hits along the way but she successfully finished all 3 races so well done Natarsha. A deserving winner of tonights DON Award. Anne
