** Bryan Clauson of Noblesville Indiana takes FIRST BIG FEATURE to kick off 2015. **
No denying Bryan Clauson is the MAN TO BEAT after dominating the International Midget Series in New Zealand.
Starting out of grid 17 due some bad luck in his heat he drove superbly to a convincing win against some of the toughest racers in the WORLD. He is on fire and looking good for the remainder of the international Series and the Penultimate indoor show at "The Chilli Bowl" in 2 weeks. He is the current defending car driver after taking out the event a year ago.
The Pole shuffle was set as follows.
Hagen #56 USA
Smee #7 Australia
Abrau #97 USA
Mosen #7 NZ
Maskovich #5 NZ
Alach #11 NZ
The 40 Lap A Main almost went flag to flag with lots of slide jobs and very fast racing on a brilliant track.
THEN the unbelievable happened for Mosen only 6 laps to go when he jump the cushion and collected the wall when running 2nd, that was it he was done.
When the race restarted Abrau was involved in a wreck by taking our Jerry Coons Jr and Coons ended up upside down. However he was restarted to fight thru to the chequered and came home 3rd.
Darren Hagen lead many laps and looked to win but Clauson was just plain hooked up and flying.
Final results.

Tomorrow night Saturday January 3rd is the famous 50 lapper so everyone will be bringing the best.
