Doin it for the Old Boy.

Geraldton was a great meeting last night with about 20 drivers turning up for the meeting.

Congratulations to Gavin Davis who won the Old Boy race for the second year in a row. He was proudly showing off his trophies last night and nice big $5000 check in the window of his room at the hotel for all of us to see.

The track was slippery in hot laps with everyones tyres just spinning, however some fast times appeared.

Hot laps

Gavin Davis: 13.080
Jodi Waldron: 13.118
Robbie Stephens: 13.345

Round 1
The first round of heats was when the ruts started to begin.
Heat 1 was taken out by 360 driver Jodi Waldron, followed across the line but Gavin Davis and Mick Doble. Jodi Waldron pulled the fastest time in 13.522 seconds.
Heat 2 saw Andrew Pedler cross the line first follewed by Grant Chisolm and Brett Barndon.
Heat 3 went to Chris Ackland, then Robbie Stephens and Adyme Harvey.

Round 2
Heat 1 saw Gavin take the win over Jodi Waldron and Mick Doble.
Heat 2 Brett Barndon cross the line first followed by Andrew Pedlar and Grant Chisholm.
Heat 3 was won by Adyme Harvey followed by Chris Ackland and Justin Bell.

The track was graded before Round 3 due to quite a few bad ruts. The track that was left was first class. I had more fun in heat 3 then any other after we let the right rear tyre pressure down to 9.

Round 3
Heat 1 went to Ben Ellement driving Rocca Zemunicks car followed by Gavin then Mick.
Heat 2 Stacci Chisholm who took out her frist Limited Sprintcar heat win! Followed by Brett Barndom and Grant Chisholm.
Heat 3 was won by Justin Bell followed by Adyme Harvey and Chris Ackland.

The heats were very uneventful except for Round 2 when Stacci got caught up with Anthony Gaudio.

The feature started with Gavin on the poll and there were no doubts he wouldn't win. The first corner saw Mick Doble out and yours truely after 2 cars spun out. I tried going up high to miss Shane who just missed the 33 car (correct me if I'm wrong) but unfortunately ended up hitting Maskells left rear damaging my steering rod and radius rod, but it could of been much worse. The restart went well and it wasn't until about 12 laps to go Chris Ackland had a big tumble after challenging Adyme Harvey for second. It was devastating as Ackland had the momentum up and going, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. With 5 laps to go Robbie Stephens and Justin Bell had a coming together which saw Bell end up on his side, both were out. Gavin took the win with Adyme Harvey second and Ben Ellement third.

It was a great night, racing with some great people. Doin' it for the Old Boy showed us what racing was all about, Gavin Davis was constantly giving us tips with set up for the ruts, Chris Ackland and his crew were also very handy in helping myself and Mick find a good set up. Team Bam Bam were friendly and helpful in trying to get my car on the trailer, when eventually the radius rod snapped and they lended us one to get it home. Everyones help last night was very appreciated and this is what makes me enjoy racing. The fact that we have a great wide group out there, young to old, males to females, from all over the state and country.

Just a reminder, if you want tyres let myself or Dad know. For those who haven't yet told Martin if they are going to Margret River or World Series night 2 in Bunbury then please do. If you can't get a hold of him due to Martin being over east let Lillian know.

Hope to see you all in Margret River!
