UNLIMITED BANGERS
The Unlimiteds brought the noise, the hits, and the unpredictability — and while the heats were chaotic, it was 616 who emerged as the night’s big winner.

Heat 1 went to Nuno Cardoso #96 after a tidy drive through a messy pack, with Tresidder #616 and Heddema #621 also in the mix. McCarthy #808, Drew #870, Gray #777 failed to go the distance.
Heat 2 was a wild one, with B2マ Rejekt taking the win and Streets #27, Tresidder #616, Croese #H66 and Heddema #621 all surviving the carnage. Siddle #606 and Gray #777 again failed to finish.
Heat 3 was short on finishers and long on destruction. 186 grabbed the win, with Tresidder #616 and Drew #870 the only other classified runners.
When the dust settled, the Final belonged to Tresidder #616, who kept clear of the worst of the action and controlled the race from the front. McCarthy #808 and Croese #H66 completed the top three, with Streets #27, Gray #777, Siddle #606 and Drew #870 also making it home. Big names Heddema #621 and Cardoso #96 were among the DNFs.
