Maryborough cancelled
Maryborough has been called off tonight due to the "low" off the Queensland coast causing lots of wind and rain.
Disappointing! :-(
Oh well. Now we have to wait until 11th January at Archerfield again for some more laps.
Can't wait!

Robyn wins the feature at Archerfield!
Back at our home track for the first time in the new AMCA (and the first time in 2 1/2 years for Robyn), she top qualified through the heats to start the feature off pole, and led home Russell Bonsey and Jim Knight to win the feature.
After finding out last week we had only been running on 7 cylinders, the car was a lot quicker and handled the initial slippery conditions really well.
Results:
Heat 1 - 1st (from position 4)
Heat 2 - 3rd (from position 5)
Feature - 1st
Next meeting - Saturday 29th December at Maryborough
HELP!!! Do know anyone who happened to catch Robyn's feature win on video?
(Our camera decided to pack it in yesterday afternoon.)
If so, please send us a comment or email - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
We will pay good money for it!
Cheers.

Interesting news for the team
We had a reasonably good weekend at Gympie on Saturday night.
Heat 1: DNS (Couldn't get the car to start in time)
Heat 2: Near the back (after being half spun by somebody - probably due to the wet track)
Heat 3: 1st
Feature: 5th
BUT we found out yesterday the engine has only been running on 7 cylinders for the last two meetings! (We thought it was sounding a bit dead.) :-p
So we've been down on power by about 20 or more horsepower!
Now we can't wait for the next meeting ... Brisbane (Archerfield) on 26 December (Boxing Night).
Bring it on! :-)

We finally hit the track!
Last night we finally had our first race in the new Redline AMCA at Toowoomba speedway. Although it took a while for Robyn to get used to racing a sedan again (her last race was in May 2005, and that was in a Sprintcar), by the end of the feature she was very much on the pace and passed quite a few cars on the last couple of laps. We are very excited about the potential of the new car.
We will post a video up soon ... stay tuned!
Next race meeting will be this coming Saturday night (8th December) at Blackwater, followed by Gympie (Mothar Mountain) on Saturday 15th December. Come and say hi!
