A couple of weeks ago the first race on the new oval was held and it was for Carrera NASCARs.Nine entries were received and it was good to see some drag racers have a go at circuit racing.With such a short lap it was very easy to drop laps if you had a crash.Dave won with 248 laps from Luke with 230 and Tony 227.John was next with 225 from Hayley 212,Plucka 202,Greg 197,Patrick 194 and Roofta 185.With more running being done and more rubber being put down the grip level is improving so the racing should be cleaner for the next round.

With the new Speedway Oval installed and operational a new 1/24 class is being run and that is Historic hard body NASCARs with H & R chassis.Three entries were received for the first race with more cars being built.Hayley won with 215 laps from Tony narrowly ahead of Plucka on 208 laps.
