Aidan Raymont and Michael Shelford dominated their respective Preliminary A Mains, on the opening night of the Modified Sedan Gold Rush, at the Corbets Group, Mothar Mountain Speedway Gympie.

Tim Atkin quickly moved from the third row into second place by lap four, but Raymont had already opened a handy gap on the opposition, while Mark Raymont finished third.

After and exciting three way battle for the lead in the opening exchanges with Kye Walters and Jamie OMeara, Michael Shelford took the lead on lap three and simply drove away from the opposition, winning emphatically by half a lap, in the second Preliminary A Main.

�I think I can get it better, looking forward to tomorrow�, said current Victorian Champion, Aidan Raymont after his victory.

�If it goes slick tomorrow night, we will be in with a show�, said Michael Shelford after his dominating performance.
