We run a unique format on Boxing Night. We select a New Zealand team which consisted of 1nz Brad Mosen, 11a Shayne Alach and 27a Hayden Williams to race against the USA team (39usa Bryan Clauson, 1usa Tracy Hines, 91usa Tyler Thomas) and Australia (7aus Nathan Smee, 6aus Brent Thomas, 87aus Aidan Cornish). After 2 heats it was the American team who came out on top by 3 points over New Zealand with Australia well back. Clauson was the top individual point scorer
The rest of the drivers competed over 5 heats with each driver competing in 2. The top 8 joining the top 8 from the international races to comprise the 16 automatic qualifiers for the A-Main. 54a Michael Pickens was the top qualifier ahead of 2nz Brock Maskovich, 21a Zahn Turner, 9a Michael Brunt and 10usa Zach Daum.
There were two last chance qualifiers which included a boilover in the second one. With just two drivers qualifying from each qualifier 3usa Jerry Coons Jr would find himself on the trailer after being dragged off by 38usa Spencer Bayston at the start of the qualifier and passed by 96a Chris McCutcheon near the end.
I do run a website where I've summarized the feature but you can view the above video and I don't want to violate the self-promotion rule on my first forum post!
