The 360ci/LS Sprintcars roared back into life on Saturday night at Borderline Speedway, for South Australia's State Title. While South Aussie Daniel Pestka was looking to defend his title from last year, Murray Bridge's Ryan Jones and Bendigo's Rusty Hickman had other ideas, as they came to race at the famed "bullring".  Adelaide young gun Ben Morris topped the time tables with the quickest lap time in practice, of 12.066 seconds, in the Victorian V45 car, owned by  David Challons from Melbourne. The action started early, right from hot laps, with heat wins going to Ryan Jones, Steven Loader, Brendan Guerin and Ben Morris.   

The battle for the State Title came to a close with cars hitting the track for the feature race, opened by the prestigious 4 wide salute to the crowd. Ben Morris and Daniel Pestka faced off the front row with Morris charging to an early lead. Without completing a full lap after the green flag, Rusty Hickman collected the wall when exiting turn four bringing the track to a standstill on the yellow stoppage lights, prompting for a full restart. Ben Morris, once again, took to the lead but, unfortunately, hooked a rut exting turn two and went back four positions before the first lap was completed after the restart. 

After his incident in the opening lap, Rusty Hickman held on for a further two laps with a damaged race car, but ultimately succumbed to the damage when another incident on lap three, that included Craig Vanderstelt and Mt. Gambier's Scott Enderl, ultimately ended all three drivers' nights early, winding up on the infield. Upon the restart, Strathalbyn's Daniel Pestka showed no mercy and took off with the race lead, never looking back, in the Stark Pestka, Pt. MacDonnell based S27 car, leading all 30 laps to seal the deal on his second consecutive 360ci/LS State Title at Mt Gambier's Borderline Speedway.
