Manjimup

Well after much debate the meeting a Manjimup was held on Saturday night. We had a total of 11 cars including 4 360,s and one 320.

We were greeted with what looked like a soft and wet track. Wheel packing was interesting as the back straight was a mud pit and hard to get through. We eventually got the rest of the track packed and a line down the back straight. Hot laps were still greasy but looking fast as track was really hooked up but starting to get rough.

First round of heats were run with Todd Davis taking out our heat from Shane Maskell and Billy Stocks. In the second group Aldo Depoali had a good win from Chris Ackland and Wade Randall.

The track was getting very rough by this stage and the cars took a lot of holding onto.

Second round of heats saw everyone freeing up their cars a bit to try and make them a bit faster and easier to get through the ruts. First heat of the second round again went to Todd Davis from Billy Stocks and Wade Randall. The other heat of the second round went to Rob Adley from Chris Ackland and Tim Gardiner.

The first race of the final round of heats was won by Billy Stocks from Shane Maskell and Mike Armstrong. There was a coming together of cars during the start of this heat which left Todd Davis watching from the infield. I was leading until i tried to adjust the fuel return and stood on my dick and got passed, well that was the technical version i was given in the pits. Second race went to Chris Ackland,who again got really fast when it mattered, from Rob Adley and Aldo Depoali.

Well I jagged the invert and started of the front row in the feature next to Tim Gardiner. There were a few restarts as everyone was pushing hard and unfortunately for Rob Adley, a little too hard as he had a hard dump in turn 1. He was ok but cant say the same for his car. I lead for the first 15 laps until i was passed by Todd so now i had someone to chase. I caught and passed a rapidly tiring Todd with 5 laps to go and held on for the win. Followed by Chris Ackland, Todd Davis, Aldo, Shane Maskell & Billy Stocks.

Overall points for the night went to Chris Ackland from Mike Armstrong and Billy Stocks.

Martin is looking for nominations for Bunbury so if you can race please let him know ASAP.

I will see you all at the Muster.
