In Modified Eliminator Katie Cunningham was in dominating
form, top qualifying with a 4.66 ET in her Team CFZ dragster
before going on to win all three rounds. Joining her in the final
was Savos Pandelakis. His front-engine dragster was away
first on the handicap, but Cunningham had the better package
taking the win with a 0.005s over 4.61s ET to a 0.021s over 5.461s
effort.
Super Sedan had 12 entries with Gavin List on top with a 5.77
seconds effort in his Chevy Nova. After three round wins, List
faced off against the Holden HQ Ute of Bob Baker. Baker was
away first, but his 0.083s reacted 0.110s over 6.040s was no
match to the 0.002s light and 0.105s over 5.795s effort of List.
Nineteen entries lined up in the Super Street bracket, with
Craig Chapman leading the charge with a 6.81 ET. After three
rounds, the finals put Bundaberg racers Brett Keirnan and
Richard Dawe together. The all-Ford final saw Keirnan leave
first with a 0.050s reaction time, followed by a 0.088s from
Dawe. At the stripe, both drivers broke-out, however Keirnan
was able to take the trophy and the points with a 0.009s under

After qualifying in Modified Bike, Reegan Ward from Gladstone
sat at Number One with a 5.44 ET on his Suzuki Hayabusa. He
was certainly a fan favourite with some wild wheelies over the
weekend. When it came time for the final, it was Ross Bryant
and Russell Bell who would meet. On the green, Bell had the
better reaction and went on to take the win with a 0.052s over
5.902s to a breaking-out Bryant with a 0.056s under 6.214s on
a 6.27s Dial-In.
The Junior Dragster bracket saw Dylan Everett take the top spot
during qualifying with an 8.05s timeslip. He was in the running
for the finals, but a number of break-outs meant that it came
down to Andrew Tinney and Kilarney Back. Unfortunately, Back
went red, handing Tinney the automatic win.
In Super Gas, top qualifier Ross Bryant had a second bite at
finals glory when he faced Tom Parry. On a 6.30 index, Bryant
was out the gate first with a 0.111s reaction to a 0.750s from
Parry. At the stripe, Parry broke-out to hand the Bryant and his
Holden Torana the win.
The Street bracket was also in the mix during the event, after
being added to give some of the regular street meet racers a
chance to compete for a championship. Christopher Rieck top
qualified his Ford XD with an 8.30s ET and had the skills to go
through to the finals after three wins. Joining him was the
Toyota Corona of Lee Davis with a tight outcome between the
pair seeing take the win with a 0.050 reacted 0.086 over 8.386s
to a 0.193 reacted 0.083 over 9.133s.
