THE latest racing season at Grafton Speedway is full speed ahead with some of Australia’s best V8 Dirt Modifieds racing over the Christmas-New Year period.

The recent racing over two nights on 29-30 December attracted some of the country’s best V8 Dirt Modifieds drivers to put the pedal to the metal in Grafton, as they raced in the annual Super Dirt Series over two big nights of racing.

Brisbane’s Kevin Britten won the Super Dirt Series title for the second straight year.

The five-time Australian V8 Dirt Modified Champion defended his title leading the 30-lap feature race from start to finish.

Britten was joined on the podium by Mitchell Randall in second and Victorian Todd Hobson in third.

Grafton’s Joshua Rose finished just off the podium in fourth place.

The previous night’s preliminary feature races in the Super Dirt Series saw Brayd Stephenson lead a local lockout of the podium in the first race ahead of Luke Dunn and Joshua Rose, while Britten won the second race with local driver Andrew Firth finishing third.

The next race meeting at Grafton Speedway will be held on Saturday, 21 January, headlined by the NSW V8 Dirt Modified Title which doubles as the opening round of the 5 Star Dirt Series.

The support classes on the night include RSA Street Stockers, SSA Production Sedans, RSA Four Cylinder Sedans and Junior Sedans.
