Hello and welcome to Stratford for Leg 2 of the Superstock Series; taking in x 4 of the tracks in the Lower North Island.

Heat 1
Man this was a fast race, I dont think I've seen 'em move as quick round here before! #94p Roydon Collingwood was past #34s Peter Moseley on the opening lap to take the lead, and blasted rounded the oval ahead of #54w Mike Pye until receiving the chequered. #59b Wally True, #898s Sandy Flett, #98p Craig Humphries, #9p Brett Hyslop and #82s John Booker all held third place at some stage, with #82s Booker getting the nod.

Heat 2
Heat 1 winner #94p Roydon Collingwood was first to go awol as #31b Paul Demanser led them out ahead of Round 1 winner #112p Shaun Pearson, who in turn was followed by #33p craig rolsten, #15s steve behl and #1nz simon joblin. Series leader #112p Pearson was dealt to by a whole pack of cars as #1nz Joblin flashed round to finish 2nd behind flag to flag winner #31b Demanser.

Heat 3
Going into the last, #15s Steve Behl and #54w Mike Pye are tied at the top of the points, just 2pts ahead of #33p Craig Rolsten and #82s John Booker.
#22s Brent Pascoe was first to score a lap ahead of #98p Craig Humphries as once again #94p Roydon Collingwood was first to retire. #33p Rolsten moved ahead of #98p Humphries to take second spot. However, it was all change in a flash, as #33p Rolsten was forced onto the middle leaving #24b Gary Foley out in front of #1nz Simon Joblin and #53p Kevan Roberts, as #22s Dascoe drifted down the order. #53p Roberts and #15s Behl were having a great scrap for third, as up ahead #24b Foley and #1nz Joblin were doing likewise for the lead until a flat put paid to the hopes of #24b Foley.

Overall
A superb night's racing from the Superstocks, with the fabulous late charge of #15s Steve Behl being enough to ensure victory.
