A Main
It would be Brady Baldwin and Nathan Van De Wakker sharing the front row for the final A-Main of the season for 40 Laps. It was a fantastic start to the race on a slick Lanier surface providing some fantastic racing from front to back, with the first 31 Laps of the race going green.
In that span, SSR team-mates Baldwin and Hobson duked it out for the lead with Van De Wakker, Joel Berkley, Blake Walsh and Clayton Davies engaged in their own battle. With just 3 laps to go, Berkley was going for the race lead on Hobson but unfortunately contact was made with the two hungry drivers going for the win, which seen Hobson have a half spin.
In a epic race with just two cautions, Berkley would cross the line first, but be relegated two spots post race, handing the win to Blake Walsh, his third of the year. Zach Rattray-White was impressive taking 2nd, his first career ODSE podium, with Berkley placed third, ahead of Van De Wakker and Hobson.
It was certainly a fantastic way to end of the 2025 Season, in which we will recap over the next few weeks.
