A great two lap battle at the end with the #14 of Davey Terry ended a great feature event and locked both the #91n and #14 on the front row for Autumn Colours event. Chad Strawn rounded out the podium with a strong third place finish. Gary Elliott continues to impress in the modified with a solid fourth place finish just ahead of #82 Justin Demelo for fifth.
Bad Luck of the Event: In what perhaps was one of the hardest hits ever in modified action happened on lap twenty eight of the of the 30 lap battle. After contact between the #8 of Gary McLean and the #88r of Tommy Robb, sent the #88r into the grass on the back straightaway, Robb tried his best to get the car slowed down but unfortunately when the car came back on track in turn three, the #47 of Brian McLean was in the wrong place and was t boned into the wall. The #47 went air born in a shower of sparks and fire before coming to rest against the wall. Thank fully all drivers were able to walk away, in what Brian described as the hardest hit he has ever taken.
