Bunbury 8th January 2011

Hi all,

Well we travelled to Bunbury Saturday night for some fast and furious action and we delivered that and more.

Again the club drivers and invited drivers put on a great display for the crowd, the Bunbury Car Club provided a track that was well prepared and maintained throughout the night, a faster surface you could not have asked for.

There were no major accidents in the limited division although a couple of near misses were spotted, yours truly mounted Shane Maskell at the start of the feature and lost 5 places, Michael Armstrong hit the wall whilst leading the feature race and that was about it.
In the invited 360 division the 4 Blackman Fabrication cars had a night that kept the mechanics busy, 3 front ends and 1 rear end kept Ewen Fellows busy on the spanners all night, he was glad when the last race was done so he could rest.

The 360's had their own heats and a feature with the final placings being
1st Tim Gardner
2nd Jodi Waldron
3rd Wade Randell

The limiteds had an eventful feature race, Michael Armstrong was fast and smooth until he hit the wall, this handed the lead to the ever reliable Chris Ackland who held on until the checkered flag, second was Todd Davis who had the Martin Engineering sponsored car on the floor, third was myself, who after a mishap at the start dropped back to seventh but clawed my way back to 3rd, the feature ran 20 laps green to checker at a fast pace.

Some of the highlights of the night were;
Bam Bam Maskel had his first heat win, and not through anyones misfortune, he had that car flying.
Shane Webster has got his little motor on the boil and was also fast.
Darren Higgins completed every lap in everyone of his heats, he had a smile from ear to ear but was just a little worn out from the feature race.
Crabbe junior has realized that to go fast you have to push the loud pedal, she was on the gas more than ever before.
Crabbe Senior made it through the night without a meltdown, that makes it 2 meetings in a row.

Limited results for the night were;
1st Chris Ackland
2nd Todd Davis
3rd Steve Crabbe

We are racing next at Geraldton on the 22nd of January and it would be great to get a few more cars there, or just a great number of spectators, so common and witness the Limiteds doing there stuff.


Catch you

Crabby
