First heat we failed to finish due to blowing a seal with the power steering. The next race we finished 3rd after starting out of position 6.
The next heat we were off pole position and we heading to finish that way, but once again luck not on our side and the steering broke and let us down again. We still managed to hold onto a second position across the line.
We started 11th position for the next heat and crossed the finish line 5th.
Qualified for 8th position in the feature race. Still not 100% happy with the car set-up in regards to the handling and the track but only time will tell.By the end of turn one we had already gained three positions and was sitting in fifth place. It was a 25 lap feature and heading into turn two and lap 13, started overtaking Peter Lyall from Carnarvon, unfortunately third place came to an abrupt end as Keith rode a wheel of Peter Lyall's car and turned his own into the wall. An extremely hard hit for both Keith and the car. The front end damage was severe(as the photo's show) and Keith didn't fair that well either.He was sent to hospital for x-rays and to check the swelling to his neck. The x-rays were clear, but was told that he had concusion and to take it easy for the next few days. That seems to put the pressure on for the NSSS, in regards to preparing the car, but I'm sure Keith and crew will find this extremely demanding and hopefully rewarding. |
