CARNARVON RUN AND WON

Hi all

Well we have travelled to Carnarvon and are on our way home, currently parked in a rest stop 17ks south of Northhampton, just had some fabulous Shark Bay Crabs for dinner with Norby, Gail and Janette under the stars with the fire roaring (Janette said to add that bit) really its fu#$%ng freezing.

Had a great run last night, won 2 heats with a second and a third.
Heats were run over 12 laps, 48 laps with heats and then a 25 lap feature.
Justin Sotiroff made his debut, he is now known as Justin Schatz after a fabulous first meeting.
Justin started from the rear allnight and managed a 3rd in one of his heats.

The Carnarvon boys have really lifted and their car speed was first rate, although Burke Holla did not turn a car out as he is still getting it ready for the North West Championships.

So to the final result.
Mick Doble was off pole with yours truly on the outside, Jim (one eye) sorry cannot remember his last name was 3rd with Steve Lyall off of 4, Schatzy was off the rear.

Norby gave me some hitec advice on how to smoke Mick off the start (apparently Gavin told Norby many moons ago) (a secret shared is not a secret anymore) it worked and the Crabbe race strategy was put into place, this was go luck I stole the car for as long as I could, this worked well until about lap 15 then the tiredness started to set in, the more I said drive smooth the more I jumped the curve until finally the front wing broke, Mick had me sized up by about lap 18 and moved past on lap 20, Mick led me home for the win, so no more trophy's on the Crabbe mantle piece..

Another great weekend and fabulous time was had by all, thanks again to the Carnarvon Speedway club.

Next year we will get more cars, so to all you limited guys out there get your cars ready, this is the best meeting of the year.
