Race recap of final round of Queensland Microsprint Series held at River 94.9 Lockyer Valley Speedway .
(Pleasure and pain)
Pleasure:
We had the privilege of having Jett Johnson steer the #17 Micro in his debut on dirt. He hit the track like a duck to water with increasing speed on every lap. His analytical mind was working overtime working out how to get the most speed out of the 17 machine on an ever changing track. I don't think I've seen a bigger smile on anyone's face every time he came back to the pits after a race, lucky he had a full face helmet on, otherwise he would have eaten some dirt π An awesome debut from an awesome talent that anyone would be thrilled to have on their team. If he heads down the "Dirt" road, anything is possible for this young man. Thankyou Jett, it has been a privilege π€
Pain:
On the other side of the garage I wheeled the #95 rocket out for the first 2 heats with Joshua Baker to do heat 3 and the Feature race. Heats 1 & 2 went according to plan with me getting a feel for the car and going quicker with every lap. Heat 3 wasn't so kind to Josh, while in a mid pack battle for position, Harley's front end was clipped by another car which caused a breakage in his steering which turned him infield just as Josh was making a move up the inside. With no time to manoeuvre, the 95 machine road up over the rear wheel of car 65 and headed skywards, a frightening number of barrel rolls ensued with Josh "sticking" the landing coming back to earth on 4 wheels, (although pointing in different directions). Thankfully money spent on the best safety gear did it's job and he exited the car relatively unscathed. The same thing can't be said for 95 that is still in intensive care at Murphy's Creek Hospital Bar and Grill.
So an eventful night was had, thankyou to all the Crew, helpers and first attendants on the night.
