Slade got the jump at the start over Supercars star Ryan Wood in Pip Casabene\u2019s car, and led the entire race comfortably.<\/p>\n

In Wood\u2019s first race in TA2, he brought the #19 Mustang home 1.9s behind Slade, with Nash Morris charging through to the podium from an eight place start.<\/p>\n

Morris battled closely with Trans Am regular Elliot Barbour for the final step on the podium, with Jarrod Hughes rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

GT ace Oscar Targett found the gravel at Turn 2 at the mid-point of the race, recovering back onto the circuit to finish 19th.<\/p>\n

Ryan MacMillan ran off the road at Turn 6, getting stuck in the gravel with a handful of laps remaining.<\/p>\n

Race control elected to just show a local yellow flag, keeping the race under green and leaving the young charger beached.<\/p>\n

Super2 regular Ayrton Hodson came home in sixth position, ahead of Porsche driver Max Vidau.<\/p>\n

Vidau battled hard in the opening laps with Supercars co-drivers Jack Smith and Will Davison, but held his own in the opening laps.<\/p>\n

Tim Brook finished eighth in the car shared with Tyler Cheney, while Smith stayed inside the top 10 in ninth.<\/p>\n

Brad Gartner rounded out the top 10 in the #33 shared with Brock Paine.<\/p>\n

Slade and Buckley sharing the sprint race wins will see them start on pole position for the first of two 40-minute enduros.<\/p>\n

The enduro is set to commence at 4:00pm AEST and can be viewed on SBS \/ SBS On Demand, or Kayo Sports.<\/p>\n
