Saturday night was the last race meeting of the season at Stratford Speedway, and it was meeting not to miss.
Streetstocks and saloons were the only classes to run for titles, saloons for the Heritage Shield, one of the most desired titles and streetstocks for their Best Pairs title.
The saloon class was action-packed with a very fast track. The drivers completed their fastest race this season in the first heat of the Heritage Shield race with no yellow flag interruptions. All drivers were pushing hard, including the two visiting drivers Joshua Smith (27b) and David Speirs (63w). Craig Korff (8s) won the first heat of the night for the saloons after racing door to door with his son Thomas (16s). The second saloon race had more hard and fast racing by the Korffs and with Richard Dreaver (7s) with the cars racing three wide into turn two. Thomas managed to pass and went on to finish the race in second place behind Joe Ingram (27s). Jarrod MacBeth (908s) took third.
Craig Korff won the Heritage Shield, while defending winner Joe Ingram finished in second place followed by Stratford's only female driver Paula Hinton (25s) finishing in third place after a night of very good hard-charged racing.
The Youth Ministocks had a lot of carnage in their second race for the night which saw Ryan Houghton (112) spin accidently causing a pile up, which saw Madison Crawford (4s) being caught up in her first roll over for her racing career, it also saw at least eight cars not finishing the race.
