The Queenslander showed class from the start of the 35-lap final at Premier Speedway last Saturday night, taking the chequered flag just one second ahead of defending champ David Clark.

The win capped off a great night on the clay for Britten, who had earlier enjoyed a win in what was a stacked heat nine which provided spectators with plenty of action.

For the heat, Britten shared the front row with Mark Robinson.

He used the highline to take the lead from the start and despite giving the turn three/four concrete a solid nudge on lap one, held on to his lead to take a solid win.

As the ‘high points’ man, Britten received the Silver Fox Award, presented by Steve Robinson, while drivers’ medallions were handed out by Victorian legends Murray Atkin and John Morse.

Rounding out the top 10 in the final were Mark Robinson, Scott Canon, Josh Rose, Andrew Pezzutti, Zac McDonald, Brock Gardiner and Blake Eveleigh.
