Kwinana wrap up.

Hi all,

Well Kwinana last night was a good meeting in some ways and not in others.

There were some big moments for some both good and bad.

The night started with time trials, 5 hot laps with your fastest lap recorded for your time trial.
Sarah Zeminck set fast time.

There were 2 x heats with the fastest from the rear.
Heat 1 results
Sarah Zeminuk, Shane Maskell, Damien Joyce.
Heat 2 results
Damien Joyce, Shane Maskell, Steve Crabbe.

Going into the feature the high line was coming on and it was going to be a hard slog to start from behind row 1 and get past.
The line up was,
Sarah Zeminuk, Damien Joyce, Robbie Stevens, Shane Maskell, Steve Crabbe, Anthony Gaudio then the rest.
On the first start Damien Joyce got away but there was a spin and a complete restart.
On the second restart Sarah and Damien made contact with Damien hitting the turn 2 wall on the exit.
Again we reformed for the start only to have a couple of 360's come together and cause another restart, this time it was time to go straight to the top line and try to run around the front cars, we put the 77 up there and began the task of running in the top cars, after a few laps we were into lapped traffic and the lead car took to the bottom for the pass and I stayed high, this put us into the lead and we stayed there crossing the finish line 8 seconds clear of second place.

Final results
Steve Crabbe first, Sarah Zeminuk second and Shane Maskell in third.

Highlights.
Shane Maskell is getting the hang of it and getting harder and harder to get by.
Robbie Stephens is one quick pedlar around the plex.
Sarah Zeminuk was fast in time trials and the first heat.
An inspired drive by yours truly in the feature after some face slapping and harsh words from Steve Bombak, saying if you can catch them you are faster so don't sit behind them.

Lowlights
Some big crashes that claimed cars from all divisions including our 45 car.
Gavin Davis continues to have some serious engine woes.
Glen took a huge dump ruining the freshly rebuilt 45 weapon.
Dhuy after looking reasonably quick early lost a fuel pump drive.
Darren Higgins went from the elation of a near heat win last week to being a non starter at the track due to a malfunctioning brake system.

It was another good show for the club, just the usual poor sportsmanship by the same suspects puts a dampener on it.

Well bring on the title it is time to see the real fast boys back out.

Catch you

Crabby

No tips this week, I have given Glen the kiss of death already and do not want to jinx anyone else.
