Congratulations to Steve Mitchinson of Canning Vale South in WA for winning some Just Drag Racing goodies in the recent Online Shop Survey.

Stayed tuned folks for more competitions and great giveaways in the future! Just all part of the plan to give back to our dedicated fans :-)

Darryl Stephen takes the lead in the Southern Super Gas Series (Photo courtesy Dragpix)While there were only 6 Super Gas entries there was some very interesting racing by all reports. Even though he is still sorting out his Camira, Kym Oberauer stepped up to run Super Gas to make up the field after initially intending to run Super Sedan. It was a very impressive performance to win the bracket and check out his average qualifying ET where for the three qualifying sessions he averaged 6.300 on a 6.300 index.

The bracket also had great support from Darryl and Anthony as they both made the long haul from Sydney to Portland in the heat and hopefully the NSW fires didn't cause them any grief on the trip home. While Anthony went out in the first round Darryl made it to the semi-finals but that earned him enough points to take the lead in the series.

Drum roll please...

Collecting the winner's trophy in Super Gas (Photo courtesy Dave Hope)Wow... what a weekend at Fuchs-Southcoastraceway Portland for round 2 of the Aeroflow Sportsman Championship!

But let's rewind back to Wednesday when I was preparing the car for the weekend. Whip the valve covers off to do the rockers and find coolant on top of the head. Hmmm... ring Paul Rogers and he says we can fix it Friday night at the track. Catastrophe averted.

Drive down to Portland Friday and get in about 6:30pm. Set up and Paul comes over to fix the problem. Seems I've got some leaky studs which is pretty common for a 400 Chev. Paul works his magic and Robbie Cassar gives me some goo to put in the radiator in the morning.

Michael Bibby and I are sleeping in the trailer for the weekend so we both wake up with sore backs in the morning – checker plate flooring is not that good for spinal posture. Put the goo in the radiator and go through the normal warm up procedure. Fingers crossed this works; lift the valve covers off and no water! We're back in business baby.

Here's a summary of the finals from round 2 of the Aeroflow Sportsman Championship held at South Coast Raceway on June 5th and 6th, 2013.

Look out for a full meeting report in the next few days.

Super Comp

Competition and Super Stock combined to form one bracket – Super Comp.

In the final it was two Victorians who raced heads up on identical 4.9 indexes, Craig Geddes in his E/AA and Darren Parker's B/APA GXP, who had both reset their respective national records during the event.

At the end of the day it was Craig Geddes with the win, running a 4.75 with a 0.113 reaction time to Darren Parkers 4.758 with a 0.117 reaction time.
