We had a good run at Baypark on Saturday night with 2 heats finishing 6th and 4th giving us grid 4 for the feature next to Ricky Loagn on 3 behind McDonald off grid 1 and Tyrell off grid 2.

Great race with some good battles for the lead with Tyrell. Finished the night in 2nd place behind Tyrell who drove a fantastic race and Ricky Logan finishing in 3rd

No racing for us next weekend, but will be heading To Palmerston North and Harrisville the following weekend.

Final Meeting Western Springs 3rd March 2012

Western Springs over for another year, interesting nights racing, our car came in after the feature with a completely slick right rear from so much wheel spin during the feature.

Heat 1 we started right off the back of the grid and finished in 6th place climbing up a few spots, the 2nd heat we lead and got passed by Jonathan before the yellow which meant Jonathan had to go back a  spot, however they declared the race but gave Jonathan the win.

We started the feature off grid 6 and finsihed in 4th postion behind Jonathan Allard, Daniel Eglleton and Jamie McDonald which was a great drive by all 3 of these guys.

We had 2 podiums to finish off the night claiming 2nd place for the Western Springs Series behind Jonathan Allard who has had such a great season and 2 points ahead of Ricky Logan.

We also got our 2nd place trophy for the International Sprintcar Series.

Off to Baypark next weekend

North Island Sprintcar Championship

Mmmmm where to start...................

The night started off well and we time trailed 5th behind Ryan, Ricky, Jamie Duff and Jonathan which wasn't bad considering we were first car out of the blocks, then things went kind of average really, we really struggled to get the power down on to the track and spent a lot of time wheel spinning and not making much ground, we tried changing a few things during the heats and set the car up to come on later on in the feature.

Our heat races we finished 4th and 6th giving us grid 7 for the main event

We started making up some spots in the feature race until we got a yellow. Daniel Eggleton went up and over Duffs right rear and hit the wall, a few laps later we did exactly the same thing.

The car hit the wall pretty hard and poor Dean was pretty sore and stiff for the next few days, he is in better shape than the car however, the Chassis is a write off, 3 shocks are gone, top wing, front end, rims, bars, engine etc etc etc I could go on but I'm sure you get my drift.

Thankfully our sponsors Edge Parts & Performance got another chassis up to us quickly and we are busy geting the car ready for the final round of Western Springs this weekend.

Please don't rain...........

Western Springs Sat 18th Feb 2012

Well a disappointing and frustrating night for us. Heat 1 we got taken out by another car and flipped over, luckily the car could be fixed but its still costly and also it means we had a DNF in heat 1 so even though we had a 3rd place finish in our 2nd heat we had to start the feature on grid 14.

Dean drove well on a very dicey track to finish in 6th place.

Its a shame for the team who put effort in all year to get us to 2nd place in the points to be taken out by someone who is not in a points race. Unintentional I'm sure but still upsetting.

We are now in 3rd place 4 points behind Ricky Logan in 2nd, Jonathan Allard is in 1st place with one round to go on the 3rd March.

Off to Palmerston North next weekend for the North Island Sprintcar Title

Western Springs 11th Feb

Hi all

Back to sunny Auckland for the 3rd to last meeting at the Springs for the 2011/12 season.

The night started with us off the back of our 1st heat and a 7th place finish, we finished 3rd in our 2nd heat. This gave us grid 7 for the feature race.

A pretty full on feature race with cars on fire, tip ups and flat tyres and Jonathan Allard hung to win with a broken front shock, Ricky Logan crossed the line in 2nd and we came in 3rd for the final podium spot just passing Daniel Eggleton on the back straight.

Turned out to be a pretty goods nights racing with the Barry Butterworth Midget feature being a great race to watch also.

See you next week same time same place
