Steel City Drags President, Mark Kuhn, sent his congratulations to all the racers involved.
“It was a great weekend of racing at Steel City Raceway, and we thank all the competitors, our volunteers and supporters for taking part,” Kuhn said.
“Special mention goes to our Modified Bike winner and runner-up from Saturday – John Brooks ran a .000 in the time trials which you just can’t beat, and Alan Henry travelled all the way from Darwin to return home to Whyalla for the first time in 25 years, so it was certainly great having him here at the weekend.
“We had a fantastic two days of racing, and we are already planning for round three of our club championship, with details to be released soon.”
