Before we got to the track, we knew the eleven drivers who we would face in our three heat races on the night. The grids for race one were determined by marble draw. Pulling grid eleven was thought to be an advantage. On a fast track we thought we could make good progress. As the night went on, the track would loose grip, our grids would move us forward as the passing opportunities were getting less. After managing to pass three cars in heat one we came home 8th.

Getting more comfortable running up against the cushion is sure to be a huge help as we head home to Western Springs for the North Island Champs for this coming weekend. Also, a huge thanks you to all my South Island fans, family and supports who managed to get to the track and those of you who followed via:
