\n Power\u201d.<\/p>\n

Eric Arsenault (#96) of Summerside , PEI outlasted 14 other competitors aboard his 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 to capture the win in the Demolition Derby finale, taking home $2,000 for the win. The Endurance race once again went to Jason Boudreau (#10) of Boudreau Ouest who won the race of attrition aboard his Maritime Hydraulics 1994 Crown Victoria \u2013 his second Endurance win in a row at CFS going back to August 2009.<\/p>\n

The Demolition finale came down to three drivers after Joshua Belmore\u2019s
\n (#00) Toyota caught fire after a number of hits forcing CFS officials to temporarily stop the Demolition to deal with the fire raging under the hood of the Chance Harbour, N.B. driver\u2019s disabled car. When action resumed, Eric Arsenault, his brother Billy Arsenault from Abram Village , PEI and St\u00e9phane Poirier of St. Louis de Kent resumed their battle, circling around a number of disabled cars looking for an opportunity to put a final hit on their opponents. Eric first disabled his brother\u2019s car and then, set his sights on putting a final hit on Poirier\u2019s 1994
\n Cadillac Deville to claim the win and the first place prize money.<\/p>\n

In the 165-lap Endurance event, Boudreau was able to stay out of trouble and cross the finish line first after seeing two strong front-runners being forced to visit the pit area for flat tires and repairs. On lap #3 of the event, Jordan Veinotte (#11) of Porter\u2019s Lake , N.S. took the lead aboard his 1993 Civic, a lead he would maintain until a blown front passenger tire forced him to the pit area on lap #96. Mark Collicutt (#12x) of Tignish , PEI
\n inherited the led and kept it over the next 40 laps before mechanical problems also forced him into the pit area. Boudreau, who had been bidding his time in third, was handed the lead and he was able to hang on for the win.<\/p>\n

The 10-lap \u2018Full Contact\u2019 race featured some exciting \u2018crash and bang\u2019 action between the 12 entries with Robert L\u00e9g\u00e8re (#04) of Pont Landry, N.B. crossing the finish line ahead of Dave Timmons (#47) of Inverness, N.S. Timmons had earlier captured the win in the first 5-lap \u2018Barrell Race\u2019 while Alain Gasse (#111) of Shediac was first across the stripe in the second \u2018Barrell Race\u2019 event.<\/p>\n
