Kostecki took the lead from front-runner Alice Buckley in the opening laps, the pair leading home series regular Tyler Cheney in a close battle to the finish.<\/p>\n

Cheney charged through to the top three as front row starter Ben Gomersall slipped back outside the top three in the opening laps.<\/p>\n

After a tough weekend so far, Cam McLeod got away to a fast start, charging through to top five.<\/p>\n

McLeod came unstuck at the mid-point of the race, sliding off the road at Turn 4 and dropping back to fifth spot.<\/p>\n

The Ford Racing junior worked his way back into fourth spot by the finish, ahead of Gomersall rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

Pip Casabene continued the quick speed shown so far to finish sixth, ahead of Brock Paine in seventh.<\/p>\n

Tommy Smith bounced back from a tough start to the day to finish eighth, while Joel Heinrich and Jackson Rice rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n

Following damage sustained in the earlier race, the cars of Mark Crutcher\/Hugh McAlister and Steven Wilson Nick Lange did not start the final sprint race.<\/p>\n

The TA2 Muscle Car Series returns for the second and final 40-minute enduro at 4:10pm AEST.<\/p>\n

The Chevrolet Performance Camaro of Buckley and Tim Slade will start on pole position, hoping to reignite their dominance shown earlier in the weekend.<\/p>\n
