MULTIPLE cars have been collected in a crash at the start of the second race for the Trico Trans Am Series at Sandown Raceway.<\/p>\n

On a damp track following overnight rain, multiple cars squeezed together on the run to the first corner.<\/p>\n

Elliot Barbour was eliminated on the spot, while the cars of Ben Bargwanna and Cameron Laws retired to the pits due to damage received.<\/p>\n

Nathan Herne pitted and briefly returned to the circuit before being classified as a non-finisher with radiator damage. He later accepted blame for the accident.<\/p>\n

Lahclan Evennett was also involved in the squeeze, but raced on.<\/p>\n

John Holinger was the last car to enter the melee; however, he was able to continue on in the race.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Holinger and Chase Hoy would each incur a 5-second penalty for starting out of position at the green flag drop.<\/p>\n

The race restarted with 7 minutes left on the clock, with James Golding<\/a> retaining the lead, while Todd Hazelwood<\/a> made it past Aaron Love<\/a> for second.<\/p>\n

The next time by, Hazelwood surged past Golding to take the lead as the yellow flags waved once more when Clay Richards struck the wall at turn four.<\/p>\n

The race was called short under the caution, with Hazelwood on top from Golding, Love, Jordan Cox, Adam Garwood, birthday boy, 18-year-old Blake Tracey, and James Moffat<\/a>, who charged through to seventh from last at the start.<\/p>\n

The top ten was rounded out by Jack Smith and Elliot Cleary.<\/p>\n

The third and final race for the Trico Trans Am Series is scheduled for 4:05pm.<\/p>\n
