Qualifying & its a
lot closer than expected Graeme sets a lower than anticipated 1:29.08, myself & John
0.21 and 1.12 secs behind respectively. ZZ takes fourth whilst the battle for fifth is
between Jack... |
...and Vince. Jack sets
the early pace breaking into the 1:34s (1:34.28), until Vince pops up with a 1:33.60 |
 |
 |
The leaders set off
cleanly, but behind... |
... Bill's race is over
on lap 1... |
 |
 |
...Piotr (probably the
victim of a warp) on lap 2... |
...Karissa &
Richard Scott also come to grief on the same lap - touching avoiding Piotr's wreck |
 |
 |
John has a big spin -
losing 14 secs to... |
...the flying Tony
chasing after Graeme who is already encountering traffic |
 |
 |
John's recovery starts
with taking ZZ to reclaim third |
Jack comes to a halt to
let Graeme & me by |
 |
 |
Graeme concerned at
losing time gets too close to Joe, unfortunately the result is... |
Joe is upside down
finishing his race, and creating an obstacle for me to negotiate. |
 |
 |
ZZ spins, but... |
...right in front of
Graeme |
 |
 |
Forcing Graeme to lose
about 8 secs & having to shift-r |
Meanwhile John is right
on my tail |
 |
 |
forcing me to run wide
into the hay bales & squeezing past |
Only a few laps later
to get very sideways |
 |
 |
allowing me to regain
second |
then John has tos top
to refuel! losing another 6 secs |
 |
 |
A few more laps &
Graeme is in my sights |
But I am in John's |
 |
 |
Once more I run wide -
pushing too hard |
John takes his chance
& makes the pass |
 |
 |
We have a motor race! |
Last lap & its
Graeme's turn to run wide under pressure |
 |
 |
John leads the trio
through the last turn... |
...to take a fine win |
