In a night that was heavily affected by rain, Brims drove with precision to win the shortened affair.
Victoria’s Todd Atkins qualified on pole position for what was scheduled to be a fifty lap main event, with his older brother Brock Atkins joining Todd on the front row.
Brims would start from third, with Mitchell Gee on his outside. Queensland Champion Brad Pascoe started fifth, with Rockhampton’s Harry Doyle set to start on his outside.
Brock got the better of the start to lead into turn one. Brock pushed wide out of turn two, allowing Brims through to lead the opening lap.
Brock ran second, from Gee, Todd Atkins, and Doyle inside the top five after the opening lap.
Defending Ian Boettcher Classic winner JJ Hamilton entered the top five, as light drizzle hit the venue on the second lap.
Up front Brock ranged up on the back of Brims as the lead drivers hit traffic on lap four. Brock was baulked by a lap car allowing Gee through to second.
Brims ran way wide out of turn two, with Gee blasting by to take the lead on lap five. Another mistake from Brims, saw Brock regain the runner up spot, and Todd take the final spot on the podium after six laps.
Brims fought back to regain third, as the leaders battled heavy lap traffic on a slippery racing surface.
The traffic was playing a significant factor as this time it was Gee that had his momentum impeded by a lap car, seeing Brock sail around the top side and back into the lead on lap eight.
After falling as far back as eighth at the start, Pascoe had rallied back to fourth position, displacing Hamilton and Atkins in the same set of corners to take fourth.
A big bingle down the main straight brought out the first caution of the race, during which the rain intensified and the cars were sent back to the pits for an open red situation.
An incredible effort by the track crew saw the track brought back to life, allowing the field to get back green with forty laps remaining.
Brock resumed in the lead, leading lap eleven from Gee, Zac Brims, Pascoe, and Hayden Brims who entered the top five after starting from ninth.
The yellow lights were back out with thirty seven laps remaining.
Atkins led at the restart, but with a tight racecar he fell from the lead to fifth in the space of a lap.
This saw Gee regain the lead, with Zac Brims in second, Pascoe in third, and Hayden Brims in fourth.
Pascoe was the next driver to battle a tight car as he fell from third to fifth, with Brims and Atkins the beneficiaries.
Out front Gee had built the biggest lead anyone had achieved in the eighteen laps thus far as he again found himself in heavy lap traffic.
Gee cleared the first couple of cars, but came up on the back of Steve Potts and carried too much speed as he went for a spin and sent to the rear for the restart.
Zac Brims led at the resumption from Brock Atkins, Hayden Brims, Brad Pascoe, and Doyle in the top five.
A big move from Hayden Brims saw him take second from Brock, as Pascoe capitalised to take third.
Todd returned to the top five, displacing Doyle to sixth, as we hit the halfway mark.
Pascoe having taken third made a mistake and spun the car in turns one and two to bring out the caution flag with twenty five laps remaining.
The rain intensified under caution for a second time, and that was all she wrote, as the race was declared after twenty five laps.
Zac Brims was declared the winner, bagging the $10036 winners prize in the first victory of his Super Sedan career.
Hayden Brims was second when the caution flag came out, but the move on Atkins was deemed illegal by the stewards, promoting Brock to second, and Todd to third.
Brims was credited with fourth position, ahead of Doyle in fifth. Trent Wilson crossed the line in sixth, from Michael Hally in seventh and Matt Williams in eighth.
Gee bounced back from the rear to finish ninth, ahead of outgoing Ian Boettcher Classic winner JJ Hamilton in tenth.
