Hi all
After finding a lot of damage done to the car at Baypark the boys had to work really hard to get it ready for Western Springs the following day. A huge thank you to the crew who worked all day to get the car ready and loaded to race.
We started our first heat from grid 10 and progressed up to a 5th place finish, our second heat we finished in 2nd place and after the marble draw we started the feature from grid 3 and we finished in 3rd place behind Jonathan in 1st and Ricky Logan in 2nd place. A good nights racing with a pleasing result. Also great to watch the Midget 50 lapper and see another huge crowd at Western Springs.
The final round of the series was supposed to be today but has been postponed until tomorrow due to rain, the forecast for tomorrow isn't look much better so will see if we get another run soon
We headed over to Baypark tonight with fingers crossed for good weather. There were 21 Sprintcars in all and they were all in for 2 heats.
The format for the feature race was for the top Qualifier to start of the rear and they get to pick who starts next to them off the back, then they pick the next and so on.
We had a DNF in the 1st heat with power steering issues and we finished 4th in heat 2.
We were picked to start the feature off grid 15 and Dean drove a great race and had climbed up to 5th when we got about the 5th yellow of the race. On the restart Ryan passed Dean and while going around the outside to try and pass him back down the straight we hit a rut which put us hard into the wall and we had a DNF for the night and suffered some damage to the car which the guys are frantically trying to fix now for tomorrow night at Western Springs.
It was an eventful nights racing with only 10 cars finishing the feature and a great race won by Jonathan Allard from the back.
An average nights racing on a less than average track.
We had 3 5th place finishes for the night, 2 from the heat races and for the feature race we started from grid 8 and climbed up to 5th which was pretty good going on a track that was follow the leader for the better part of the night, Baypark tomorrow night
