Last Saturday was a great day of Stockcar racing. If you didn't know, it was the Wellington A Grade Stockcar champs. There was only 2 visiting drivers. 51s and 18p. After the first two races, going into the last, Brain Musgrove(11w) and Wayne Hemi(1nz) were top on points. Then, at the start of the Third race, Jeff James(81w) smashed Wayne Hemi right up the wall which crushed Wayne's hopes of winning the title. Finishing the race in first place was Brain Musgrove who had the title in the bag.
The official results after the run off for 3rd between, Wayne Hemi, Jeff James , and Mike Pie(54w)

The std stocks put on a great show. There was mayhem on just about every corner. Allot of fast running cars were put out for the whole night. There was also abit of contact between the std's and A grades in the Stockcar all in. They put on a great show. Dont know who won which race, couldn't tell.
There was a bad turn out for the Mods because most of them went up to the rained out North Island champs in Stratford. 99w Paul Hodson won all of the 3 races with 38w Justin Glover getting better every meeting. 11w Wayne Everleigh, letting his son take a spin round the track.
