During the heats Blackwell chalked up a fourth place and a second place on the first night of the Title which then saw him run third in one of the preliminary finals.
The second night Blackwell was involved in both of the fiercest heats of the weekend which had him place second to Cameron Waters and winning his last heat to secure a third position on the grid for the final behind Brody Chrystie and David Smith respectively.
National champion Kye Walters was the ultimate top point scorer but unfortunately due to an engine issue withdrew his car from competition and elected to start in the Matt Nelson car as a substitute car from the rear of the field as per regulations.
Second place was taken by local driver Jake Drewett, third place went to Cameron Waters who put in a “monster” effort after dropping all of the first night heats due to other
commitments.
Fourth place was David Smith and fifth went to Wade McCarthy both of Mildura also.
