Krikke boys wash up.

Hi all,

Krikke boys has come and gone, and another great meeting was had by the Limited Sprintcar Club.

We had 12 cars turn up and ran in two separate heats.
The track was wet and sloppy and track packing was no fun, come heat time there was good drive and the heats were fast and furious as has now become the norm for our division.
Heat one winners were Dhuy and Todd Davis.
Heat 2 winners were Crabbe and Nathan Brady.
The feature line up was to invert the top 6 so Nathan Brady and I as top point scorers started out of positions 5 and 6.
On the roll around laps I fed Glen the front bar, just to let him know that his usual slow starts were not going to be tolerated, as we gassed it of the green flag I popped a wheelie and thought to myself that we were in for a big feature, I had gotten up to fourth and had Glen in my sights for a big passing manoeuvre when the real Crabbe came back into the driving seat and ran into turn 3 way to hot and took a big spin, and that was the end of it for me, Glen ran 3rd as they called the race after 7 laps, the only disappointing part of the whole meeting.
On the drive back to Mandurah this morning Janette voiced her displeasure at the tracks that keep cutting short our races, and after much reminding she pointed out that Bunbury was the track at which we get cut the most.
Given that we spend as much getting to the races as anyone else and we have the second biggest car count we do not really get the track time we deserve, we look after ourselves with stewarding and lap scoring, all first rate and mostly we put on a great show.
So why are we treated so badly?????????

My personal opinion is we should start looking at alternative venues where we can be the main division of the night.

So the main things of note after another great time was had by all.

• Team Dhu continues to keep that motor running and is on the pace.
• Team Webster with the baby motor (cheapest in the division) drove with his boot in it and surprised us all, some poor line choices in heat 2 almost saw him into the fence, all I could think about as he was headed rapidly towards the wall was ' we don't need this work this week" but he got it back together and finished well, some more laps and the Burgundy car is going to give some of us bigger budget teams a real shock.
• Team Brady Rocka continue to improve and his car speed is right up there.
• Team Crabbe pulled the fastest lap for a limited on the night after receiving some in car advice while waiting at the gate for heat 2, thanks Darren I needed the wake up call.
• Team Chisolm junior had a small roll but was not too shaken up, she is getting on the gas and a run in the state title will see her only get better.
• Team Joyce turned up for the night and looked smooth.
• Team Tim Davis made a comeback from the shed and smoked his brother in heat 2, there was some spirited chasing by Gavin though, he was not going down without a fight and I must say that between the chase by Gavin on Shane Webster and then the chase to run down Tim I got to see that these Limiteds are as spectacular to watch and look as quick as an open even if we do run a second or so slower a lap, when I am driving I always think we must look slow.
• Team Oliver made it through a night without a hick up and at the end of the night voiced his displeasure of me taking his old engine out and up powering him, with the old Bombak motor back in and the right length bolts in his torque tube he was flying.
• Team Todd Davis got through the night trying to run his motor in, he drew 1 in the first heat and running the engine in went out the window, he is looking like he will be right in the mix for the state title.

Catch you.
