Modified Invasion Easter Meeting
After
having to cancel saturday nights meeting due to heavy rainfall
the event was held entirely on the sunday night. The arrival of
some of the fastest cars in the country however was definately
not going to dampen any interest in the event. 84c Natasha
Rodgers was one of the early victims when her car spewed a rather
large content of fluid underneath it. Another local favourite to
do well this weekend, 4c Mike Gourley also tumbled out of
contention with a big roll-over. Two of the biggest movers in the
pack came all the way from Auckland's Waikaraka Park Speedway.
They were current 3nz Jamie Fox & 6a Brian Jesen. These two
did some hard charging along with the likes of Lane, Blakeley,
McPhee etc but just couldn't quite match the pace set by local
hotshoe 29c Glen Leech. Leech made it look easy whether starting
at the front or down the grid. The pace was hot and the 25 lap
final (after the first lap restart) ran free of any caution
flags.
Final placings 1st Leech, 2nd Fox, 3rd Jesen.
The Super Saloons also produced a big roll-over, this time the 444c Pontiac of Kevin Huddlestone being the car to be towed away requiring major repair work. The highlight of this class tonight was 1nz Brent Emmerson piloting the 17c Mustang. His wheel lifting aggressive "back-it-in" style was very impressive to watch.
The usual final meeting "butchers picnic mayhem" ensued for the Streetstock class which proved most popular with the crowd and even some of the Production Saloons succumbed to a similar fate leaving the track in several pieces and requiring plenty of cosmetic surgery.
