Sprintcar Muster.

Hi all

The Sprintcar Muster is all over and a good night was had by all.

We had 16 cars turn up which was second in numbers to the 410's, a great effort and showing how our club is one of the healthiest Sprintcar Clubs in WA.

As usual we were made to run all 16 cars in the heat, not sure why we get such a raw deal given the level of numbers we provide and more than that the tight entertaining racing our members provide, however I believe when approached the Motorplex stated they had 128 entries and would not have the time to run all the events.
I feel there are divisions that provide less entertainment, have less cars and they get split heats etc.

Heat 1 was slow on a greasy track and at the start we had a couple of cars come together which resulted in a complete restart, 3 of the field were out.
Mick Doble was judged as the prime cause of the stoppage and we were all bemused at that call, Mick had to check up to miss a near spinning car which caused the next car to loop, bit unfair, much like another decision at Fast Friday last run that saw Sarah Zemunick to be penalised.
Robbie Stephens was a run away winner.
Heat 2 saw the track starting to come on and again Robbie Stephens was a run away winner.

The Feature was over 15 laps with the fastest from the front, which is the way it should be in the big meets, we were all given our starting positions in person and we lined up for the start, again there are those that feel they should start where they want and we did 2 laps under yellows while it was sorted, I must admit it pisses me off that we have to stuff around because someone does not like where they are, my view is pull the reds and fork them off the track if they cannot comply with the rules of the meet, enough about that though.

The feature was a green to checker and there were cars passing and lapping cars everywhere, we had 6 320's in with us and it was close fast racing.

The final results were,
1st Robbie Stephens 2nd Mick Doble 3rd Justin Bell.

A great meeting and looking forward to Bunbury next week.
