Eastern States Speedway saw an impressive 70 strong field for their Harvest Championships, the penultimate meet of the 2023-24 season on Saturday night.

With three races each across seven divisions of vehicles attendees were treated to high-octane racing, plenty of racetrack drama and an impressive fireworks display from the centre of the track.

A highlight of the evening was the especially strong numbers in the mini stocks consisting of 12–16-year-old drivers, and the streetstocks where tight racing caused dramatic collisions, barrier crashes and sprint finished.

The final meet of the year is the Dynes Transport Modified Invasion, with racing from 6pm Friday and 5pm Saturday.
