State Title wrap up.

Well folks it has been run and won and the winner did not come out of the favorite list that was on face book.

Steve Crabbe was first casualty of the night, we did the usual melt of the engine in time trials.

Todd Davis took out quick time.
The heats were fast and furious and Glen Oliver was the first casualty with a tip after contact with Ian Dhu battling for second.


The feature race was run on a track that was going slick.
Chris Ackland was off pole with Tim King out of 2.
There were several restarts before the race got underway, first stoppage was for Grant Chislom who had a small spin, Grant believing the car was not able to restart broke his belts and had to sit out the rest of the race.
Gavin Davis was the next out after 2 spins and not allowed a third start, Shane Maskel also fell to the 2 start only rule although one was just avoiding another incident.
The race started to flow and Chris Ackland was always in control with Tim King holding second and Shane Webster holding down third.
Ian Dhu had a spin and Annette Crabbe made contact with the spun car knocking out the front end.
After the restart the race pretty much ran all the way with no change.

So Chris Ackland has earnt the right to run the WA1 plate and deservedly so, he was smooth all night.
Tim King drove well all night and deserved his position as did Shane Webster.

Highlights of the night.
Chris Ackland was just smooth and did enough to just keep going forward to maximize his points without trouble, then drove a smart feature race, well done to Chris.
Shane Webster drove well and had the biggest smile of all of us.
Annette Crabbe stepped up several hundred percent to lead every one of her heats for at least 6 laps but tired and dropped into the slick at the end of each heat, she won heat 2 and was pulling away from the field until a couple of laps to go when she tired, makes me one proud Dad.
The atmosphere was great and the club put on a great event.

Lowlights.
Todd Davis hit the wall on the completion of the pole shuffle as he came off turn 4 his front end let go it was just hang on, hope there was not to much damage, Todd's mum Maxine fell while going to see if Todd was ok, hope you are ok Maxine.
Darren Higgins had a sick motor which held him back in the feature.

Come on down to Narrogin next weekend guys, let's try to keep the cars on the track for the last 3 meetings of the year, I know it is getting harder and the Title is the pinnacle but the long year is almost over, and I for one am looking forward to a couple of months to reconsider the future of our team.
