The Inside Speedway Magazine supported 2007 Australian RSA Street Stock Title had a little bit of everything, but in the end on Saturday night (May 5) at Parramatta City Raceway it was Ford Falcon driver Tim Bink that came out on top by claiming his maiden Australian RSA Title victory.

Throughout the 35-lap feature race, that decided the 2007 Australian RSA Title holder, there was plenty of controversy and moments of disappointment, many that left numerous drivers dejected.

Defending champion Bryan Mackney (Holden Torana) was left a rather angry and dejected figure post race after he was sent rear of field due to an incident on the 20^th lap whilst battling for the lead with Ray Healey (Ford Falcon). Both Mackney and Healey cars made contact with one another when the latter drove underneath Mackney in turn two for the lead, but it was then that the pair made contact which resulted in Mackney coming to a stop at the bottom of the track. Race officials deemed that Mackney was the cause for the contact after it was alleged that he had turned down on Healey. Soon after being sent to the rear of the field, a rather angry Mackney retired to the pit enclosure. ::Read More...

Fellow Holden Commodore drivers, rookie Troy Dean and Swain, chased down Butt, and by the eighth their battle had turned into a three wide tussle at one stage, in some door handle to door handle racing. ::Read More...
