Bunbury wrap up 28-04-2012

Hi all,

Well Bunbury was not rained out there were only a few showers.
The Limited Club had 7 cars present, not bad considering the big event at Pithara.
We ran three heats and the feature although the feature was shortened due to a previous rain shower making the track slippery.
On hand to race were Todd "The Tearaway" Davis, Gavin "Mr Money Meet Winner" Davis, Aldo "The Apprentice" DeApaoli, Ron "The Drag Racer" Wilson, Jason "Steel Chassis" Craig, Chris "I am only allowed to race 4 meets don't tell my wife this is number 12" Dicker and Steve "Butter wouldnt melt in my mouth" Crabbe.
Heats were a mish mash of positions with Lillian challenging us by moving each of us around to keep the pressure on to pass.
So from my poor memory here is what I think happened.
Heat 1 was won by the fabulous driver of car 77 who pulled the the first of the two best starts of the night, and he is modest as well, off the start from 4 diving between the front row cars and dragging "The Drag Racer" down the back straight getting into three first and pulled away, what a great start to the night.
Heat two was won by Chris Dicker, it was a slick track and the tractor motor loved it, the pace was not slow either, there were 4 of us going hell for leather but the tractor was not letting anyone by.
Heat 3 was another big event, Todd cleaned it up after The Drag Racer had it sewn up only to spin, the ensuing restart saw Gavin try a big move under Todd going into one, he just couldn't make it stick though, Aldo was unlucky, twice he got past me only to have the ambers come on and relegate him back.
So into the feature we went, Jason Craig off pole, Chris Dicker off two, Ron Wilson off three, Steve Crabbe off four, Aldo off five and Todd off six.
I knew Todd and Aldo would be coming quick so it was a close the eyes and go around the outside start, coming off 4 the green lights came on, plan A went into effect foot down and up high I went and when I opened my eyes we were leading going into turn one, not sure who was next but I would guess Todd came with me, we were going quite hard and I was just really starting to get harder on the gas when a minor mishap saw my left front wheel go past me, with plenty of suction on the seat we steered the 77 machine onto the infield to watch the rest of the feature, Todd drove a faultless race from there with Aldo steering his machine into second, Chris Dicker ran third in what was his best drive to date, Ron and Jason finished in that order.
So folks that was the night that was, a great night finished with some great prizes some cold beers and a great bbq on team Davis.

Special thanks to Mandurah Bolt Supplies, for all the great prizes and Martin for organising the event.

Remember the AGM is coming up, keep your ears tuned for the date.
