Title Wrap Up

Well not that Literally the dust has settled here are some more details from the title.

Quite a disappointing turn out but we all know that things happen and we all can't race all the time but the drivers that were there put on a good nights racing.

The night consisted of time trials,three rounds of 8 pal heats and a 25 lap feature.

Time trials went to Chris Ackland followed by Mike Armstrong and Todd Davis.

The first round of heats went to Mike Armstrong and Shane Maskell but not till Justin Bell had a wild ride after riding Chris Dickers right rear and hitting the turn one wall very hard. I would expect that will be the last time we see that car as I've never seen a car damaged that bad. Fortunately Justin was not hurt.

The second round of heats went to Todd Davis and Shane Maskell again but not until i took a little excursion to check out the spot where Justin hit the wall. Not much damage luckily and i was able to finish.

The last round of heats was a repeat of the second with Todd and Shane taking them out again.
By this stage the track was getting a but dusty and starting to slick off.

After the heats points were Todd,Chris Ackland,Mike, Shane,Gavin,Aldo,Grant Chisolm,Chris Dicker and Ron Wilson.

Despite the best efforts of the Narrogin track staff the track was getting very slick thru turn three and four and extremely dusty. The feature was quite an eventful race with a few stoppages including Chris Ackland who misjudged the location of the front straight wall in the dust which ended his title defense. Others that didn't finish were Mike Armstrong and Aldo.
So the final order was Todd Davis,Gavin Davis,Shane Maskell,Tony Billman,Grant Chisolm,Ron Wilson and Chris Dicker.

Congratulations to Todd he drove the best in the conditions and deserved to win he was hard to beat all night.

See you all at Bunbury and don't forget to get your nominations in for the Wayne Armstrong Cup.
