|
3 X 8 lap Heats were run.
|
| Heat 1 saw Luke Pyne win off the front row followed
by Barklimore and Onley. A collision in turn 1 saw Smith, Towers, Roberts and
Sims involved. Ron Pyne got involved in another
incident and was towed back to the pits (Above). |
| Heat 2 went to Wayne Dick chased by Onley and Sims.
Smith was the early leader. Sims was lucky to make
his way back to the pits with a flat front left
tyre after the race. |
| Heat 3 fell to Barklimore with Sims and Brown
following. McKeown had led most of the way in this one
until falling back. Ron Pyne was again towed to the
pits with Renshaw and Barklimore also pushed from the
infield. |
| At the end of the Heats there was much panel damage
to be repaired. Ron Pyne was one who did not make it
to the Final. |
| Feature |
| 14 cars faced the starter for the 20 lap
Beverlite Glass A Main. Barklimore was
pole man with Onley in P2 followed by
Sims and Dick. |
| At the green Onley powered to the lead around
Barklimore for the first lap but had a
moment on the back straight which
allowed the Parkes Pontiac driver to
go around him. Dick, Sims, Luke Pyne
and a hard driving Smith made up the
first 6. Within a short time Sims had
a moment which allowed Pyne and Hickey
past with Smith baulked by the slowing
Sims. |

| Pyne
was now onto Wayne Dick and this
battle lasted several laps until Dick
pulled a gap on his younger opponent.
Barry Towers was involved in a
skirmish in T2 and hit the inside
wall. Red lights were called for and
an Ambulance attended. Towers
extracted himself from the car. |
| The
restart saw Barklimore keep his lead
from Onley but Dick was passed by Pyne
and hit in the rear by Hickey. A
couple of laps later the leader’s
right front wheel departed from his
car in front of the Pits. |
| A close formation restart followed with Pyne very
close on Onley’s tail. They ran this
way for most of the remaining laps
with Pyne getting his nose half way up
the Mustangs body work on several
occasions but not having the goods to
get in front. Hickey worked his way
into 3rd a couple of laps
after the last restart. |
| 8 cars crossed to line at the chequered flag,
Onley taking his first Feature win at
Parramatta and his 3rd for
the Series. A number of cars were
sporting damage from the close
running, in particular Sims who was
missing some side panelling. |
