Speed week night one-Adelaide.

Hi all

Well we arrived in good old SA and headed from the Airport to the track.

The pits were full and there were 6 of us West Aussies ready to race, well 5 actually as our transporter was stuck behind a motor vehicle accident and arrived late.

The new car was rolled out and looked a treat, hot laps went well and we time trialled 24 out of 45, not bad considering Kris had only done 6 laps in the car with an unfamiliar chassis.

Heat 4 was our first heat and Kris was up against it with several contracted drivers and Kerry Madsen also in the heat, Kris started out of 8 and finished in 5th, a good smooth drive.
Heat 7 was our next heat and we started out of 6, Kris went around the outside and was leading by the end of the first lap, he drove away from the field and only slowed after lapping half the field, a great drive.
We qualified for position 5 out of the B main, but we were penalized 25 points for being late to scrutineering, this then put us 7th out of the C, the C was a farce with less than 3 racing laps before being declared, we were in 5th.

So night one of speed week is done, we are now off to Murray Bridge.

Winners,
Tatnel
Madsen, Kerry
Dave Murcott

Matt Egel was fast, led the feature for a while until he had a coming together with Tatnel for the lead.

Catch you
