Bunbury another great weekends racing.

Hi all,

Bunbury was another good meeting for the club but was a little disappointing in terms of car count.

We had 7 members turn up to race and as usual put on a first class show with some very tight and entertaining racing.

Heat 1 saw Gavin off pole and yours truly on the outside, Gavin got away to a good start and led through out, I followed him home in second with Todd third.
Todd had a spin during the heat and was collected by new member David Claydon who has moved down from the North and looks like he is going to be at the pointy end.
Heat 2 was Chris Ackland off pole and yours truly again on outside pole, Chris got away to a quick start and I was chasing hard, Chris spun in the first few laps and I led the restart away, I was out to a comfy lead and greeted the white flag looking like a winner only to spin coming off turn 2, I managed to keep it going and finished 3rd to Todd and Gavin.
Heat 3 saw Chris Ackland take a comfortable win ahead of yours truly with Gavin 3rd.

Going into the feature the positions were,
Annette Crabbe off pole/Chris Ackland outside pole/Steve Crabbe inside row 2/Todd Davis outside row 2/Gavin Davis inside row 3 and Mark Miller outside row 3.
Chris Ackland stayed untroubled out front with Todd and yours truly chasing hard to find a way past, Annette had engine dramas and pulled out after the first few laps of the feature.

Highlights;
Mark Miller has come out to play although with a big engine while he waits for a Limited motor.
Darren Higgins finished a race in his car but still has a few teething issues.
Chris "Mr Smooth" Ackland again was hard to stay up with.
Annette continues to get on the pace although the lowlight was her engine drama in the feature, which sees a lot of midnight oil being put into the Crabbe workshop lamps for us to burn changing motors.
Todd and Gavin are still right up there poking their noses underneath anyone who even slightly gets off the gas.
And last but not least is me, who has found some speed and is looking forward to keeping on moving up and being able to harness some of the power the 14 deg engines make.

Ahh Fast Friday bring it on. Fast Friday is not a club meet on the 12th November but there are a few of us going for the run, about 6 to 8 cars have said they are going.

Catch you

Crabby
