Jan Dirt Sprint 24 Jan
Apparantly a nice day (I was in Tas on hols:)), with reigning Club Champ Dave Smith taking the 2WD honours, and 5th OR behind Wayne Poulier, Alan Weinert and Ant Bonnici in Turbo AWDs, and a very good 4th in E Class (and 4th OR) for Tim Crase in the non turbo 2.5RS Impreza. Daughter Emma was the quickest Junior (JB class) in the same car and a very good 11th OR, just 1.3 behind 10th, Michael Crase, and 0.2 ahead of top lady Stephanie Muston. Tim Easterman took out C Class, just ahead of Ric Ganderton who took the B honours. The big cars (D Class) were won by Mark Phillips from LLoyd Robertson. Billy O'Neil was the best Junior (A) in the RWD Impreza. Thanks to all the officials on the day.
For a report see the news section.
Was a pretty cold start, but a nice QLD day for this event. Thaks to all the officials, and also Donny, Greg, Kevin, Peter, Sam and anypne else who helped prep the track. Had a couple of soft spots, whcih Donny put comnes around to stop people driving on, which changed the track slightly, and was a little more chaleenging than usual. 43 starters, unofrtunately eter Mapstone did a couple of runs and the XR8 clutch cried "enough", so he went home. The only retirement, although Nikki did a turbo water hose, and a run to supa cheap and a fw hands had it back running, and completed the day:)
Results from Sunday, I wasn't there so don't have much other than great run for the Bonnici/Bavinton EVO to take 1st E and 1st Ladies, as well as a 1-2 Outright.
Looks like it was a good field, and good day with 7 runs. Some minor changes to the results with all DNFs being recorded as slowest time plus 5 secs instead of 3 minutes. No real change to anything though.
Final Sprint Rd for the year with a big 10 car B Class field, 8 AWDs, and 6 in D, 5 in J, L and C with only the 2 A class cars. Total of 41 runners.
