A sensational night of motorsport entertainment was had at the Red Dunes Raceway on Saturday night.
Crowd numbers were down but a field of 18 sure made for some great entertainment.
We welcomed new vehicles onto the track this month Steve Ingham RD21, Paul Francis RD73, Ben and Tony Brown RD999 and a competitor from Arno Bay, Greg Gator AB243.
One car was lost during practice, Deb Beenham RD51 with a shredded tyre due to a guard rubbing but Deb jumped into her son James vehicle and drove the wheels off it to pick up second place in the modified section.
As always, there were a few incidents.
Tony Brown RD999 caught the dirty line coming out of pit corner, lost the back of the car, spun and hit the wall backwards which put his vehicle out for the night.
Car Hobbs RD69 after winning the race, showed the crowd the correct procedure for reverse parking after going over the finish line at a rate of knots and not taking pit corner slowly.
He hit the wall backwards. The rest of the field had quite a job trying not to hit him.
The open wheelers were a sight to be seen, Tania Johnson RD40 had the rest of the field in her rear vision mirrors all night as she led from the front.
Steve Bell RD23, Geoff Munro RD19 and Steven Webber RD50 showed great speed and driving skills while trying to catch her.
The modified class had the biggest field for quite some time and produced some sensational driving.
With Carl Bartlett RD38 and Deb Beenham RD53 both driving different cars it made for great entertainment.
Shannon Warren RD44 showed his car has what it takes to take out third place.
Action aplenty in the street stock class from the very first race which saw John Webber RD25 turned around on the infield.
Jonathon Hills RD42 and Tony Webber RD1 continued their great rivalry with Tony taking the honours this month.
Special thanks this month to the "Rocketman" Paul Arnold for stepping up at the last minute to drive the Roxby Rocket for the kids, it's definitely a treat they enjoy and travelling around the track makes them feel apart of the racing.
The next meeting will be held on Saturday, September 13 with racing starting at 7pm.
Come and join us for a great nights entertainment before we head off to Port Pirie for the second round of State titles.
