In modified it the championship was open for a number of drivers to claim the Championship with a win in this round. Like in clubman the qualifying was tough to call but in the end it was Derek McCloskey that took pole ahead of close rivals William White and Micheal Bolger.
With the qualifying over we where in for an epic race for top spot in both classes. Unfortunately this was not to happen as the heavens opened as the racers completed the final qualifiers. With the rain pouring down the race organisers took the decision to call a halt to the racing and after waiting for the rain to stop a decision was called and the event called with the results based on qualifying.
This gave Derek McCloskey the win and the 4wd Championship and Ian Hunter the win in Clubman along with the Championship for 2011. Congratulation to both drivers and to all the racers who took part in the 2011 4wd championship.
