To further demonstrate how close it was Bruce Davidson/David Garden in their Chev C5 Corvette were just one point behind the tied trio. Series secretary Chris Dunn summed if up perfectly when he said the series was "tight coming into the round and even tighter as they came out of it."
Several drivers had arrived at the final round with a chance of taking the overall series but the two main protaganists were the Falcon V8 Supercar of Matt/Dwayne Carter and the Porsche RSR of Scott O'Donnell, paired again for this round with Andy Neale of Christchurch. The Carters and O'Donnell arrived at the finale with 182 points each and the anticipation of a showdown was further increased when the two cars qualified side by side on the front row, the Falcon on pole and the Porsche alongside.
It was a very close finish however in a day of high drama at the Canterbury circuit.
Auckland brothers Matt and Dwayne Carter won the 2009 South Island Endurance Series when the final round took place at Ruapuna Raceway, in Christchurch on Saturday.
O'Donnell had been in second place in the race when the clutch failed on his Porsche RSR after coming into the round equal on points with the Carter car.
Once the dust had settled it transpired that the Carters, Scott O'Donnell of Invercargill and the Christchurch based team of Dale and Dennis Chapman were all tied on 182 points. A countback was employed to find a winner and while both the Carters and O'Donnell had each taken one victory and one second placing a further countback was used to separate them, the tightest of series finally going to the Carter pairing.
The Carters believed that their failure to complete the race had cost them the championship but disappointment turned to elation when they discovered at the prizegiving that they were indeed the 2009 South Island Endurance Champions.
However it was difficult to deny the Carter team. Ironically, despite their late race retirement at Ruapuna, they still covered one more lap than the eventual winners. They were on track to blitz the race records for laps covered at both Teretonga and Ruapuna during the series only to be thwarted on each occasion. At Teretonga the race was shortened after a crash and of course at Ruapuna they failed to finish. The brothers were also under the endurance lap records at every circuit in practice and qualifying.
The duo were on target to take an easy race win plus the title as they dominated the Southern 300 in their Ford Falcon V8 Supercar, building a massive seven-lap lead until disaster struck just minutes from the chequered flag. A blown gearbox in the final moments cost them the race, allowing the Christchurch duo of Gary Cliff and Hayden Knighton in a Porsche 911 to snatch a last minute victory by just over 17 seconds from Lindsay O'Donnell and Mark Dwyer in another Porsche. Dunedin duo Warren Good and Arron Black capped a good drive in their BMW with third place.
Meanwhile the Chapmans had been consistent throughout the series and ironically could have taken the championship had it not been for a pitstop that went wrong during Saturday's race. The resulting delay cost the team the championship as they finished 8th, 2.8 seconds behind the 7th placed car. Dale Chapman brought the BMW into the pits only to find Dennis was not ready. Had they been able to gain one more place then the series would have been theirs.
