Nyora Raceway produced one of the biggest shows in Victoria for the season with the running of the state dirt modified title on the weekend.
The title was followed up by a big dollar feature on the Sunday night for the dirt mods and the modified sedans, with wingless sprints, juniors, and sports sedans campaigning on both nights of the two-night show.
Cars from New South Wales and Queensland had joined the local Victorian contingent for the dirt modified action with three heats and a final on night one determining the new Victorian champion.
On night one, gun Queensland racer Kevin Britten won the first heat race. He smoked around the bull ring in 14.562 seconds to defeat a couple of New South Welshmen before locally race raised Nyora product Todd Hobson won the second heat race.
Daryl Hickson, another Nyora Raceway product, won the third heat to close out round one when he beat Scott Cannon. Hobson doubled his wins with another in round two, with Chris Corbett from New South Wales picking up a win along with Queenslander Mitchell Randall.
Hickson won a second qualifier for himself in round three as did Randall, whilst Hobson won his third from three starts on the night.
In the state title race, Hickson lead lap one from Randall, Hobson, Dale Corbet and Chris Corbett. At the five-lap mark, Hobson was back into second spot, however, his race would soon end up with his car parked infield.
Hickson led Randall, Chris Corbett, Kevin Britten and Scott Cannon at lap 10 and by lap 20, Cannon and Britten had swapped places. Randall exited the race within striking distance of the finish and, at the chequered flag, Hickson had taken the win ahead of Chris Corbett, Cannon, Zeke Edwards, and Tyler Scott.
Junior sedan action on night one saw victory go the way of Jayden Bryant from Jack Randall, Maddi Capon, Jess O'Donnell, and Jake Bradley, whilst Matilda Farrell won the new stars in front of Cruz Farrell her brother, Pary Das, Tyson Heaphy, and Jasmin Bryant.
Simon Bent from Grantville won the sports sedan final in front of Matt Reddecliffe, Bernie Franklin, Matthew Bronson, and Gavan Dorain. In wingless sprint action, Christopher Temby, another driver to be developed and raised at Nyora Raceway, took a win from Wayne Logue, Scott Irons, Wayne Milburn Jnr, and Steven Hateley.
Into night two of racing with the dirt modified state challenge. Big dollar race shared the spotlight with modified sedans.

Scott Cannon, Bret Clarke, Todd Hobson, and Randall won the four heat races where the points from night one qualifying added to the qualifying races on night two. Hobson and Hickson started at the front of the field with Hobson leading lap one as Hickson found himself in early strife dropping behind Randall, Brett Clarke, and Dale Corbett.
Ten laps into the race, the top five positions remained the same and again at the 15-lap mark with only Wayne Simpson out of the race. On lap 21, Hickson lost spots to Brock Gardiner and Cannon and at the 30-lap mark as the chequered flag dropped, Hobson would take the big victory in the state challenge from Randall, Clarke, Dale Corbett, and Cannon.
Some big cash money was on offer for the modified sedans line-up, with four heat races to determine the starting field for the feature race. Aaron Bunton won the first qualifier with Victorian champion Kye Walters taking victory ahead of Bunton in the second. Walters won the third qualifier also before Marcus Reddecliffe from Nyora club winning the fourth.
Bunton and Walters started at the front of the feature field with Dale Hallett, Marcus Reddecliffe, Lucas Conder and Darcy Wilson in the top six. Walters led lap one from Bunton and Reddecliffe and at the t10-lap mark the top three remained the same with Hallett and Conder in fourth and fifth.
