In the semis Tremayne was up against the GT 500 Mustang of Scott Porter but Tremayne is a class act with his better reacting 7.13/189.31 more than enough for the Ford’s 7.20. Baktash then met John Barbagello in a Ford Escort with the result the same – an all the way win thanks to a 7.169/190.27 holding off a 7.207 at 190.19. Barbagello’s loss also meant that Aaron had won the 2008 Australian Pro Stock title and was now racing for a win to add the icing on the cake.
While Baktash had made huge strides with his Avenger, Tremayne had achieved the most points in three of the previous four events. It wasn’t to be any different in the final around as he had Bektash on toast off the line and just extended his lead to win 7.16 to 7.33. After the win Tremayne was ecstatic. “My team has been just outstanding all weekend,” he stated. “The car has been great of course and I’ve won the championship – I couldn’t be more happy,” he added.
