NASCAR-powered, Mustang-bodied, roaring machines are rarely seen in Northland, but it was exactly that sort of machine which stole the show at Taipa's Speedway.
The machine, a Ford super saloon, driven by Max Andresen, was brought out to play for the only second time since being built - living up to its reputation as Andresen powered his way to three straight wins.
Also showing winning ability on Sunday was Ray Dare, who recorded the hottest lap time of the day at 14.81 seconds in his saloon.
Fellow saloon racer Tony Cree was also quick on the day as he went on to win two of the saloon rounds.
The father-and-son duo of Craig and Daniel DeWaal didn't have much joy as mechanical and overheating issues hampered their influence in the C and production grades. However, nothing stopped Tony Over and Allen Hallett's arm-wrestle as they scrapped their way through the three rounds with the battle continuing right into the final round, where they went three wide with Shirl Andresen entering the fold.
