Quick Recap-
Last night we went to Grafton for round 3 of the Norther Rivers Rumble.
Dan was in heat 1 and 3
Trent in heats 2 and 3
Heat 1 was wet- Dan finding the wall with the front right, doing some damage to control arm and causing a rub, Dan still got home in p4 after others having issues too.
Heat 2 was carnage with the sheep's stations up for grabs, Trent keep it clean and was lucky to stay out of trouble coming home in P2 and happy with the car.
Heat 3, Dan moved up to pole and Trent off p2, Dan got the jump on a much drier pole line and stayed there until near the end after a restart, another car got through tight to his outside finishing in p2. In the first couple laps, Trent tried to go around Dan because he wasn't making any mistakes causing him to slide straight toward the wall, narrowly missing and dropped to P5, made it back to the back of Dan's back bumper finishing in P3. Dan still had a problem with the control arm from heat 1, thanks to Wadey for his assist fixing that as best we could.
Feature qualified Trent off P2 and Dan off P3 our best starting positions and they were pumped to hit the track.
Dan ran a good race, keeped it clean and battled the car from damage early in the night to finish P6.
Trent was super keen. Happy with the car all night but we didn't make it out there with the car not starting in the pits- try and sort it ready for Lismore next weekend. Not the greatest nights but that's racing.
