A wild week of Warrnambool weather caused chaos on the second night of the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic, with the feature rescheduled to Sunday afternoon.
Rain ensured a frustrating night for a massive crowd at Premier Speedway with a host of interruptions throughout the evening.
The final straw came as heavy rain again fell just as the field was pushed off for the 30-lap final.
The feature will now be run at 1600 this afternoon, before the full night three schedule is held.
Local Peter Doukas is the unlikely pole-sitter ahead of John Vogels and American Jason Johnson.
The rain of Saturday came after two days over 40 degrees in the coastal town, creating havoc for track staff.
