taken out by defending champion
Chris Tatchell, who faced off in his
Holden Torana against Jason Neve.
The Victorian had earlier raced against
Craig Ferguson and Mark Sienczwski
before taking a bye run in his semis. On
his way to his runner-up result, Neve
took on Mick Piscioneri, Harry Harris
and Remo Rende. Earlier in the day,
Robyn Phillis took out the Top Qualifier
Medallion honours.
In Super Gas, the race for victory came
down to Bailey Datson and Warren Bull,
with South Australian racer Datson
taking out the victory after having
earlier beaten Jeff Romeo and Top
Qualifier Medallion recipient Graeme
Spencer in his Holden Torana SLR.
Meanwhile, Bull had earlier taken on
Colin Griffin and Adrian McGrotty.
The Top Sportsman proceedings were
awarded to Paul Russo, who piloted
his 57 Chev to victory over Top Qualifier
Medallion recipient Darren Nichele after
having won against Chris Theo, Danny
Buccella and Glenn Henley. Russo was
the second quickest qualifier behind
Nichele, with Nichele going on to race
Greg Damiani (round one) and Jason
Arbery (semis) while having a bye run
in round two. On his way to the victory,
Russo also scored the Perfect Light
award courtesy of a 0.000s reaction
time in his semi-final run.
In Super Sedan it was defending
champion George Tipoukidis’ day, with
the racer taking victory in a double
break-out final against Ned Karanovic.
On his way to the final, Tipoukidis took
on and defeated Brett Mathew and
Alex Gkroidis while Karanovic took wins
against Russell Cowie (round one) and
Peter Tzokas (semis) while enjoying a
bye in round two.
Also on-track during the Spring

for the final pass.
