We were back in the hot seat Saturday night at Stratford with 29 cars racing for the heritage shield after the couple of surgerys we had. Actually came back a few weeks earlier and spun some laps at taranaki champs when we shouldn't have so were in the trailer early.
Race 1 Started grid 11 good start picked up a few places before coming across a spun car in turn 4 having no where to go but through them doing lots of damage to there car, recovered to come home 12th
Race 2 Started grid 24 again good start picking cars off got up into top 10 before had another car spun infront of us and we were pushing them down the track side ways, came home 14th
Race 3 Started grid 6 after having a false start we re gridded and by turn 2 had muscled our way up to 3rd on lap 2 got up to 2nd and set our sights on the leader, by lap 7 we had wound them in and were battling for the lead before making the pass. Turn 1 last lap made a small mistake abd pushed wide dropping back to 2nd where we finished.
Not a bad nights racing finishing 8th overall, cars showing good pace with second fastest lap times in every race and with a bit of luck we would have been up the pointy end again but that's stockcar racing.
Thanks to Steve, Jamie and my old man for crewing and Tash for staying home looking after the tribe and letting me go do what I enjoy.
Massive thanks to the sponsors couldn't do it without the help.
