Old Boys Wrap Up

Gavin Davis again showed us all how it's done by winning the fourth running of the Old Boys Memorial. Gavin didn't show his hand until it really mattered and won the feature well from Phil Johnson ,driving the #21 J&J of Mark Wells and Andrew Pedlar.
It was a good night,the track was a little dry towards the end, but nice and flat a credit to Smithy and his track prep guys.

The hard luck story of the weekend must go to Rocka Zemunik who had engine problems that I've since heard were fairly serious although he's said he will be back for dads race.

I struggled to get the car set up early it was way too loose.We finally got it right for the feature only to run out of brakes around lap 12.

Shane Webster had some brake issues as well and was watching with me from the infield

Overall it was a really good weekend and thanks must go to the Stevens and Doble family's for all their hard work.

Sunday Night

Sunday night was the running of The Midwest Sprintcar Cup. We had 11 cars from Saturday night as Rocka was out as well as Andrew Pedlar who had a leaking fuel bladder.
The track was very different from Saturday it was wet and very hooky. It got a bit rough in places which caused a few of us some wild rides but it was ok if you had the right line.

We again had the set up wrong and we were carrying the front tyres more that i liked which gave me a few scary moments but we got it all sorted with Ricks invaluable help through out the weekend. I probably learnt more about car set up this weekend that i have all year so it was worth it. In the end i was happy to just finish a feature after my last few efforts.

Dave Obrien was on a mission and drove the wheels off his car after starting off pole in the feature only to spin in the latter part on the race.

Mick Doble had a night i think he would rather forget but he'll be back.

Hooky and Wellsy both had a DNF after bending front ends in separate incidents.

All in all it was a really good weekend and we're looking forward to doing it all again in a couple of weeks.
