Last night was the final round of the season at Trade Hire Augusta Margaret River Speedway.
The track had 40mm of rain dumped on it this week. Mark & his track prep team did an awesome job to get a track ready for us to race on. To use another drivers words "The track had character!"
I had Jedd Patterson in the passenger seat. Jedd had never been in a speedway car before, & is more use to 2 wheels than 4. Thanks to Sophie Amato for helping to strap Jedd in.
Had some good battles on track. Tried a few different lines & found a faster smooth line up high.
The 20 lap feature race, we started out of 8th of 9 cars. As we drove around to.start the race, $550 was put up for the winner ๐. This made it very entertaining for the spectators! With only 4 cars finishing. We finished 4th. Had a great battle with Brendon, who got his first podium in 3rd. Well done Brendon ๐ Congrats to Matt on the win ๐๐๐
The car has a few battle scars, and again going to have to replace the back bumper.
Thanks to my little mate Dom, who helped with cleaning the clay off the car at interval. It was also good to get lots of people jump in the car for photos
Also the shirts have arrived.
Thanks Fastlane Photography for the pics.
