Posted by Pit Marshal in Feb 27, 2011, under News
Peter Logue had a clean sweep at Bairnsdale 26/2/11 
Peter Logue showed why he is the points leader in the VSC Sprintcar series by taking out the three heats and the feature in convincing fashion at the Bairnsdale speedway on Saturday night.
Shane Fisher also has a good meeting by keeping out the other contenders and coming in second twice in the heats and also in the Feature
Rod Bowman also had a good meeting and was pleased to pick up a trophy on his home track in the feature
The VSC Sprintcars were keen to get a meeting underway as the previous two meetings were abandoned because of the weather.
The first heat saw Logue lead from the start with Fisher holding on to come in next from Bowman Siely, Moore and Cook.
The next heat saw Bowman lead from the start followed by Siely, Cook, Fisher, Logue, Taylor, Moore and Hutchins. Logue had moved up to third place when there was a restart on the seventh lap. Here Bowman was relegated to third place when the Steward deemed he had broken the start, Siely and Cook were put at the rear of the field when the Steward could no make radio contact. So this left Logue in the lead on the restart with Fisher next followed by Hutchins, Moore, Siely and Cook and this is how they finished.
The third heat saw Cook get to the lead out of turn two the first time closely followed by Logue,Siely, Moore, Bowman and Fisher. Logue got throgh Cook at turn one the fifth time round and he opened up a lead. Cook and Siely were close together, Bowman got through to fourth followed by Moore and Fisher.
The Feature saw Logue lead from pole and soon opened up a handy lead. Fisher was next followed by Bowman, Siely, Cook, Hutchins and Moore. The leaders started lapping the back markers after the tenth lap with all cars holding their positions.
