Collie Speedway in the Southwest of Western Australia was the venue for the fourth round of the Super Sedan Summer Series, with Marc Giancola winning an exciting 25 lap Feature Race.

Giancola started the race with the record of having won the last five times at the venue, but would start out of position seven in the Feature race.

Kodee Brown, who last night was nominated the Broome Sports Star of the Year, would start from pole position after some consistent results in the heats, along with Kevin Bell, who also had a great night.

Dustin Higgs and father Gary Higgs would start from the second row, while Murray Iwanow and Blake Jackson would start from row three.

Kevin Bell got the best of the start, in a race run at a frenetic pace. Kodee Brown was pursued by both Gary and Dustin Higgs, Iwanow and Giancola, who systematically passed his opponents one by one.

Dustin Higgs would start to have handling problems and slipped back to fifth, as the battle intensified for the first sixth positions.

A restart for Blake Jackson and John O'Callaghan who collided at the back of the field, would see Kevin Bells small lead diminish.

Giancola hit the lead mid race and instantly opened a sizeable lead on his oppostion, while Bell, Gary Higgs, Brown, Iwanow and Dustin Higgs resumed the battle for the minor placings.

A second restart for the same pair (Jackson and O'Callaghan), momentarily brought the field back together, but Giancola again cleared out from the field.

Kevin Bell who had resisted numerous attacks by Gary Higgs and Murray Iwanow, eventually sucummed to the pressure running wide out of turn four, losing spots to both drivers.

Giancola though, was in a class of his own, winning by 6.457 seconds in a dominant display, winning his sixth successive event at the Southwest venue.

Gary Higgs won the battle for the minor placings, with Murray Iwanow, Kevin Bell, Kodee Brown and Dustin Higgs finishing back in sixth place.

Earlier, the heat races were exceptional with Kodee Brown winning the opener. Heat two was won of the best races seen in many years, with Kevin Bell, Bert Vosbergen and Dustin Higgs fighting out a three way battle for ten laps, with multiple lead changes. Bell would prevail over the veteran Vosbergen and Higgs. Murray Iwanow would win the third heat narrowly over Kodee Brown, before Marc Giancola would become the fourth differnt winner from as many heats.

Series leader, Gary Higgs would win heat five in a narrow victory over Giancola and John O'Callaghan, with the final heat going the way of Brown, which ultimately gave him pole position in the main event. Bert Vosbergen would sustain damage to the front end of his Pantera after spinning in heat six, which would sideline him from the main event, after showing great pace in the preceeding heats.
