Speed week night 2- Murray Bridge.

Well night 2 has come and gone and the team achieved more tonight than we had even dreamed of for the whole trip.

Time trials were average with Kris out in the second last group, the track had gone off and we could only get 33 out of 46, still not bad after 5 hot laps with no clear track.

Heat one had Kris out of 2 and he drove away to a convincing win.
Heat 5 had Kris off pole and he had to settle for second off the start but worked his way into the lead on lap 4 and again he drove away, not bad considering the quality of the field he was up against, 5 contracted drivers were in his heats, there was not a slow car to be seen.

The heat wins put Kris off pole for the B main, again he had to settle for second off the start but early on he drove past Luke Dillion and pulled out a massive lead, Matt Egel soon had the outside line working and closed up with a few laps to go, but Kris again pulled away to win.

So we made an A main, unbelievable really, we have made both the shows, just doing that has been great, I am starting to think the 25 points we were penalized from Adelaide are going to come back and haunt us as we would be fairly high in the speed week points if we still had those, but we are not complaining, rules are rules and we should have been there on time.

So to the A main Kris went, starting out of 15 he got up to 8th and held out there for a while, but from the Crabbe perspective it looked like he tired after about 25 laps and we went back 4 spots to finish a creditable 12th, not bad for our second night out as a team and second night in the car.

I was talking to Kris yesterday about a name, you cannot be the Young Gun when you are older, Danny Reidy is "The Rockstar" the amount of time Kris has had the camera stuck in his face he will soon be known as "The Movie Star".

Well enough dribble for now, cars to clean.

Mt Gambier tonight, here we come.

Catch you
