Active ImageTom Palmer capped off a very successful weekend for Drapac Porsche, with the Melbourne Based Team winning races in Australia and Holland.

Palmer powered home for an impressive win in the A Grade Criterium at the rich Wagga McDonalds Classic which attracted a quality field from interstate.

With the scratch markers not getting up in the Handicaps on day 1 of the Classic at Wagga, Drapac Porsche left nothing to chance in the Crits on Day 2, with big Robbie Williams hooking up with his sprinter at the bell to give Tom Palmer the perfect run into the finish.

Canberra Based Suzuki team took out the B and C Grade events with Sam Genge winning the gallop in B Grade and Former Champ Baden Burke making a successful return to the sport in C Grade.
