In an act of camaraderie officials and racers joined forces to dry the 1.1km stretch of bitumen and get underway with the evenings feature racing less than an hour behind schedule.

The dense humid air was a performance killer but the Group 1 exhibition cars still managed to give the crowd some action packed racing. One of the best highlights was the side by side Top Doorslammer pass of Matt Abel and Peter Coles running 6.291 at 237.92mph and 6.458 at 189.58mph respectively.

Scott MacLean continued his performance testing prior to the ANDRA Drag Racing Series round in August with two 6.06 second passes at 232mph in the AllTools Top Alcohol Funny Car.

Modified Bike was the field to watch with Brandt McGlade taking out his first round win after stepping up from Street Bike in 2012. McGlade’s 10.125 on a 9.85 dialin was enough to defeat round one winner, Colin Sainsbury and now sees the pair tied for championship points.

Grant Radcliffe took out his second straight win in the Top Sportsman class after his opponent, Ron Heyes broke out, running an 8.905 second pass on an 8.95 dialin. Radcliffe pulled a near perfect 0.01sec light and finished with an 8.483sec pass at 159.21mph.
