The Muster

Well we definitely had the best turnout for the season so far with 17 limiteds nominated for the muster.

There was a massive crowd on hand and they weren't disappointed with the racing.

The first head was a very quick race and unfortunately a little too fast off the start for Sarah Zemunik as she was relegated two positions for jumping the start. So this handed the win to Todd Davis followed by Aaron Ishiguchi and then Sarah.

Heat two was a good one as well with the Gero guys showing us why they had come down with Robbie Stephens taking the win from Mick Doble and Gavin Davis.

Heat three was a bit scrappy with Todd Davis and Mick Doble both spinning on the back straight early. Race was eventually won by myself followed by Paul Peet and Aldo DePaoli. A great drive from Paul his first time in the car for a few years.

The feature was next and front 3 rows were Robbie and Sarah,myself and Todd and Mick and Gavin behind us. It was a good race with both the top and bottom of the track working well.Sarah was on the pace early and we were all trying to keep up. the minor positions were changing rapidly as everyone was having a good crack.
Unfortunately for Mick he also had a massive dump in turn one and although Mick was OK the same can't be said for his car it was a mess.
The race resumed and it was a fight between 3 with Sarah.Todd and myself running out in front of the field it was a good race and we finished in that order.

It was a great night of racing and a very good example of the show that the limiteds can put on if we get the numbers.

Fast Friday

Firstly apologies for the lack of posts just been too busy.

Well 6 limiteds turned up to race on the 16th Dec for the last fast Friday and we were treated to a really good track again.
There were also 7 360's and we ran together with them all night.

First heat seen myself and Chris Dicker off the front with the 360's one corner behind us. We finished in the order of myself,Trent Pigdon(360) and then Chris Dicker.

The second heat was won by Ryan Farrell in a 360 followed by Shane Maskell and myself in third.

Feature race front row was myself and Shane Maskell. Shane spun in turn 1 early and was collected by Jake Beard Miller and both were out for the rest of the race. We held off the field for the next 6-8 laps before I was passed again by Ryan. I set off after him only to come into contact with Bryan Hall in turn one and has a massive dump. You all have probably seen the pictures by now. Car was not damaged too bad and I had a good headache. 360's finished in the top 3 positions and the first limited home was Chris Dicker with his first win of the season.

Overall points for the night went to Chris Dicker followed by myself and Shane Maskell.
Well done Chris on your first win.
