Heat 1 saw Gav Davis start from pole and wasnt matched for the entire race. Chris Ackland started from near last and ended up 3rd. Final placings were Gav 1st, Cory Gilpin (running 360 engine) 2nd, Aldo 3rd, Chris 4th. Glen Oliver was back in the drivers seat, but once again found his diff hanging out by the end of the heat, so that ended his night. Crabbe had some engine dramas and we all had fingers crossed he hadnt blown another one. Team Crabbe worked hard to find the problem to no avail, so sent him out for heat 2 to see what would happen.
Heat 2 - Todd Davies started off pole, Chris Ackland pulled out on lap 1 with rear end dramas, Ron Wilson managed to hold off Crabbe for a good few laps and Aldo was once again driving very well. Crabbe's engine held up, but again started to fail towards the end of the heat. At least he didnt blow it!
The feature was held over 20 laps with Higgins and Crabbe of the first row, Gav and Aldo off row 2 and Todd in p5.
Gav jumped straigt into P1 within the first lap and Todd set about chasing him down with Aldo settling him behind. Ron Wilson pulled in after a few laps with dramas. Todd managed to get past Gav and then Aldo soon passed him as well, not sure if Gav had car trouble or is just getting old!
With 2 laps to go, Todd was running the low line, Aldo stuck to his guns and held the high line, the move paid off which saw Aldo take out his first ever win - well done!
The A main of the WSS was qute eventful, with Brooke Tatnell being run over by the push car prior to start of the race, Max Dumsney was disqualified. Ryan Farrell lead from start to finish.
We all gathered after that for presentation, big thanks to Chris from Manadurah Bolts for a few prizes, SJC Crushing for donating some tyres Delkara Haulage for some vouchers and a few others, apols if I've missed people - I'm getting old too!. Gav and Crabbe took home new front wings, Todd scored a compressor and Aldo walked away with a 42" plasma courtesy 88degress.
Peter will send thru the official placings shortly, so I'll post those when they come thru.
Next meeting is the state title in Narrogin on the 25th, then back to Bunbury for the Krikke Boys on March 3-4, Moora on the 10th then down to Margaret River on the 17th for the Armstrong Memorial, then back to Kwinana on the 24th. Very busy March - bring it on!!
