I think we went the best we have gone so far this season. The track was shocking - like driving through a paddock - but it was still fast and demanding.
We won the 1st heat from position 2 (ahead of eventual Vic title winner, Adam King VIC35), but the engine was super hot and blowing smoke. It turned out the electric fan had come off the radiator and we also popped a breather hose off the engine. I didn't think we'd be able to fix the fan, but thanks to Bob and Brendan Kenna (NT39) they pulled the radiator out and fixed the fan in time for heat 2. Awesome job guys!
I then started out of 9 in the 2nd heat and finished 5th.
The final round of heats was determined by points with the highest going rear (not really fair but what can you do?). I must have been in the top 7 (out of 43 cars so I'm stoked) because I started out of position 9 in the 4th heat. I got a good start and moved into 6th, but half way through the race the 2 cars in front of me spun and I threw it sideways to avoid them but slammed my right rear into them. We broke the axle, brake disc, rim, etc so we were out for the night.
I was disappointed I wasn't able to avoid the collision, but excited to be a contender up to that point. My speed has definitely improved so hopefully I can continue this at my home tracks now.
Congrats to Adam King for another title win.
Our next meeting is this Saturday at Brisbane. Looking forward to it!
