There was lots of rolls and lots of action but thankfully everyone walked away with just bumps and bruises thanks to our safety equipment. A huge shout out to Keith Simpson and Kenny Tassie for checking on our drivers after any incidents!

It was an amazing season of racing and we thank @everyone for coming out and supporting what we do! For a completely volunteer based club it really means a lot to see all the support and to see that you all enjoy watching what we do almost as much as we enjoy doing it. Thank you to all the members and volunteers that keep racing alive! Stay tuned for this seasons Top Eliminator points results in the beginning of November after we have our awards banquet.
