The crews were up nice and early on Saturday morning to kick off the first race of the weekend, and it did not disappoint.
A wild start to the race saw the leading pack come together, prompting the safety car to make its first appearance of the day.
This forced a recovery drive from Wayne Russell, who had started in pole position but then found himself sitting in last.
Despite the wild start, a Go-Karts-Go driver swap saw Drew Russell fight through the field to win race one, and then cruised to victory in the second to make it back-to-back victories.
The third race of the weekend will begin on Sunday at 8:15am ACDT.
