North Island Sprintcar Championship

Mmmmm where to start...................

The night started off well and we time trailed 5th behind Ryan, Ricky, Jamie Duff and Jonathan which wasn't bad considering we were first car out of the blocks, then things went kind of average really, we really struggled to get the power down on to the track and spent a lot of time wheel spinning and not making much ground, we tried changing a few things during the heats and set the car up to come on later on in the feature.

Our heat races we finished 4th and 6th giving us grid 7 for the main event

We started making up some spots in the feature race until we got a yellow. Daniel Eggleton went up and over Duffs right rear and hit the wall, a few laps later we did exactly the same thing.

The car hit the wall pretty hard and poor Dean was pretty sore and stiff for the next few days, he is in better shape than the car however, the Chassis is a write off, 3 shocks are gone, top wing, front end, rims, bars, engine etc etc etc I could go on but I'm sure you get my drift.

Thankfully our sponsors Edge Parts & Performance got another chassis up to us quickly and we are busy geting the car ready for the final round of Western Springs this weekend.

Please don't rain...........
