At the Track ...
Update - 1st February, 2007
Victorian Championship...
The Victorian Championships were held on 13th January at Warrnambool. The
team was expecting a challenging night of racing and they arrived at the
track early in the afternoon with plenty of time to set up then relax and
soak in the atmosphere. Spare time allowed the team to mingle with the
other competitors.
1st race ~ Position 5: Finished 6...Kev started well but was turned around
by one of the 'big guns' trying to pass. Kev was sent rear of field because
he was the primary stoppage of the race (he needed a push start to get him
going again). By the finish of the race, Kev was in 6th place due to an
adrenaline rush?!
2nd race ~ Position 2: Finished 3....After a messy start, we dropped to 4th
then managed to move up to 3rd and hold it. A good result for us 'rookies'.
3rd race ~ Position 9: Finished 6...Kev had a very good run. He was able
to tailgate a quick car who cut through the traffic for him. Another good
result.
Result of the 3 heats: Kev's team qualified 13th in a field of about 40
cars. All the team was ecstatic!
The Final:
Kev started 13th and tailgated another driver. The race continued right
into the 23rd lap when a serious accident put a stop to the marathon run.
Due to driver error, 4 cars became entangled: thankfully no-one was injured,
just very shaken. All the safety requirements were satisfied. At the
re-start Kev was automatically 9th still behind the same driver but, due to
that driver's steering failing on the last lap, Kev came in 8th. The whole
team was 'over the moon' .
Thanks go to all the team, all the sponsors and all the people who have
faithfully supported this project. We especially thank God for allowing us
to be a part of His work, and our prayer is that He will become a reality to
many in the racing fraternity, too.
God bless you all, Marg.
