A warm and a bit windy day, with 36 drivers hitting the start pad. Track was well prepped, but took a lot of water over the day. Troy Moffitt put in a couple of sub 1:30 times to thrash Mick McMillan by 0.8 of a second over 6 scored rounds. That is about 0.14 of a second for each 2 lap run. Great to watch:) Poulier was next in the largish E class on the day. Best 2WD was Bondy in 8th OR in the Pulsar with Parkesy 9th OR (same car) a few seconds back and Jared Predo securing third from JP Hewitson in the Mazda Ute (rounding out A Class).

 

B class saw Ric Ganderton take the win and 11th OR in the big block (2litre) Excel, with Josh Newson 2nd in the BMW and newcomer Tim Crase doing a good job in the Peugot 206. Stuart McLeod and first time runeer Andrei Vishnevskii (Alfa 156) rounding out the class. Dan Bruce fronted up in Class with a little blower on his 318 BMW, putting him in C Class, but honours went to Mark Davies, despite damage on the 6th run after spearing off on the sweeper and finding the wall. Next was Dan, then Stephen Davies in 3rd in the same (now damaged) BMW. Dillan Pierera just missing out an the plastic.

 

Mark Phillips took the D Class win in the well thrashed (buy the family) Falcon from Ian McGuire in the Red Bull VR Commodore with Wilhelm Link taking 3rd in the S40 Volvo.

 

Ladies saw Steph Muston take the win in the WRX from Chloe Cullen in the FWD Civic Type R and Joanne Phillips in the RWD Falcon. Maddy Dyba pipped in 4th, but I think another PB as she improves in the Ignis. Good spread of cars in that class. Juniors saw Emma Crase with a lead after three runs, but as the track gripped up a bit Hayden Duffield got faster and took the win, from Emma and Tristan Newson in the BMW.

 

Thanks to Donny, Tom, Peter, Parkesy for track/equipment prep, Cam for the fine burgers, Mick McMillan, Jared Predo, Chloe, Chase McMillan, Josh Newson and Wayne Poulier for providing assistance in the tower and Maddy Dyba, Donny and Rad Guerin for flagging. Nice to see a few competitors giving a hand again.

 

That wraps up the Autocross part of the year, with 5 rounds run.
