Eighteen drivers started the thirty lap Ramsdale Wreckers Pakengam supported Modified Sedan final for the touring Victorian Modified Promotion Association with Australian Champion Kye Walters from Torquay starting in pole position and Corinella race driver Russell Felsovary alongside him. Brody Chrystie, Brad Wicks, Graham West and Matt Gerlach rounded out the top six starters whilst in the field starting further back were Nyora members Andrew Blackwell, Scott Angus, Wayne Ramsdale and Nick Hill.

Walters led lap one from Chrystie and Wicks as Felsovary fell back to fourth. Positions remained the same until lap eighteen when Brock Atkins moved ahead of Felsovary. By lap twenty-six Walters who had led every lap was leading Chrystie, Wicks, Brock Atkins, Blackwell and Felsovary now in sixth.

When the chequered flag dropped Walters had proven why he is a true Australian champion, winning whilst showing all you’re the champ is always difficult as everybody has you marked. He beat Chrystie, Wicks, Atkins and Blackwell the first Nyora member to finish. Wicks was setting the fastest times during the race and the margin of victory at the finish line between the first three cars was just .512 of a second. A tight finish thrilling all the fans on hand.
