31 entries turned up for the Drivers Challenge, which used the longer Sprint track (Runs 1 and 2), then the Autocross (Runs 3-5) and finally the crossover from Autocross to the long track halfway along the back straight.  Best run on each track counted.  Some interest in the Crase family with 4 in the field, and after the Autocross runs there was only 2 seconds between them all.  The very nice EVO VIII MR of Colin O'Brien suffered gearbox issues and withdrew, missing runs 7 and 8, but he still neded up 4th in E Class and OR. President Greg Woodbridge had some bad luck with his VR V8 Commodore, which cut oyt, so Beau Watson handed him the keys to Beau's Commodore V6. Greg wasn't quite finished with his misfortunes in Commodores, as he spun Beau's car and attacked the flag point manned by Rad Guerin.  Maybe a slight exaggeration there, but he certainly was closer than optimal:).  For the Crases, Tim eventually won out with a great 2nd in E (and OR), just ahead of Alan Weinert in the WRX, who finished the last run with a quick time, but snagged a cone, so plus 5 secs.  That cone was the difference between 2nd and 3rd.  Ant Bonnici did a great job in the Yaris GR to take the win, but the others put it to him in different runs.  A class was a Pulsar affair with the Bond/Parkes N14 the only car, Bondy getting the win by not much, and first 2WD car in 5th OR. On one of the runs there was 0.01 between the two.  B class is normally hotly contested and there was just 2 seconds covering winner Barry Clark, Ric Ganderton and Allan Coles in 3rd.  The Peugot getting a good workout with John Coles also 4th in class.  C Class was another two car affair, with Jeff Kilbride getting the win in the GB Galant Astron big block, over the pretty MK2 Cosworth Esky of Robert Clark, just a second and a bit in it.  D Class saw the big cars doing a great job (apart maybe from Greg...) with Ken Luxton piloting son Gus's drift VE ute V8 (with a million horses) to a half second win over Peter Mapstone in the well presented AU V8, and evergreen Lloyd Robertyson in 3rd in the BMW130i. Ladies saw Steph Muston just behind Nicki Duclos in 3rd (having her first run here for a while) but the main interest was between Emma Crase and Tracy Bavinton, with Tracy winning out in the Red EVO. The decider basically being Emma having some average runs on the crossover track, although she did pull off a neat 360 at the end of the sweeper for the last run.  Great style points, not so good for the time:). Overall a fun day with the cross over being very tight and an interesting difference to the track.  Thanks to everyone who prepped after the rain (again) as the grader, roller and water truck are not part of any Automated Drive Technologies, so do not drive themselves....

A quick blurb plus results.

26-Nov Update - There was also a small eror in run 3 that affected the times, resulting in Allen Coles taking out B class from Barry Clark, and therfore Allen was the best 2WD in 4th OR, behind Ant, Troy and Tracy, bumping Kevin and Barry down.  Again, Sorry about that.  Updated results attached.

Results from the much delayed Round 2 of the Autocross series, after finally getting a fine weekend for it.  There was a minor hiccup with the run 3 times, essentially being one car out, which had little overall effect, but it did mean that James Bonnici and Kyla Sholz swapped places, so Kyla neds up 3rd on the day.  Apologies to the 2 juniors and families for that:(  Of note was that all the juniors improved their times during the day, with Alex and Sam dropping around 5 secs, but massive inprovements for Banjo perry (26 secs), Kyla  (33 secs) and James (36 secs).  So great effort by them all.  

Results from the 4 lap Christmas Special Event on 10 Dec 22.  For D Class Peter Mapstone is shown, and the Class results are Maguire, Mapstone, Robertson, Sorry Peter:)
