Nice. If the track didn't get rained out yesterday, I would've been able to race the next week but I have to wait another week now until I get to race.

Did this last night at Sydney Speedway in a Practice night.



What these picture don't show is me spinning twice, than the night getting washed out.

But today I did this.

You sound way different than when your on TS lol, but I guess everyone does sound different without a computer mic. Nice job though.

Ran my first race meeting of the season yesterday. Finished 6th, 5th, and 5th in my 3 heats, and finished 5th in the A-Main, in one of those "If I had one more lap" races. Nearly ended up with a tyre barrel as a passenger in my third heat. Next race should be in late December.

Raced at Moruya Speedway Saturday night in 1600 Sedans. Finished 4th, 4th, 5th, and 6th in my heats.

Raced at Nowra Speedway in Modified Productions. Finished 7th in heat 1. Then in heat 2 I developed a fuel pressure problem and was unable to start, then it happened again in the A-Main. Next meeting is 1600 Seadns on the 5th of January.

Raced 1600 Sedans at Nowra Speedway. Finished 4th in both my heats and the A-Main.

Was supposed to run at Nowra Speedway in Modified Productions two nights ago, but it was cancelled due to threatening bush fires in the surrounding areas. Don't know when my next race meeting is, having a bit of time off from racing due to my Dad having knee surgery at the end of the month.

Repeat of Bathurst 1000 '92 happened. 2nd and 3rd crashed, ending the race, yet allowed to stay 2nd and 3rd. So I finished 4th.

Finished 5th in the South Coast Modified Production Championship at Nowra Speedway.

Here's some photos from a practice meeting I did on Saturday.

Started off the 2013-4 season with this.

First race meeting of 2014 was good. Finished 5th in the A-Main with very little vision and a broken right rear shock.

Got 2nd in the 1600 Sedans A-Main at Nowra Speedway. Finished within about 2 seconds of the leader. Highest ever senior finish. Highest ever finish at Nowra Speedway. First ever 1600 Sedans podium. Next race meeting is the 25/01 at Nowra in Modified Productions.

Raced at Nowra on Saturday (25/1). Didn't have a good night. Experimented with a new right rear in the A-Main, but due to the design of the rim, the tyre was rubbing against a sharp inside guard, and it went flat, so I had to retire. Next meeting is the 15/02 at Nowra in 1600 Sedans.

Spoiler:

Won the prize of driving a Wingless Sprint at Sydney Speedway from Totally Speedway magazine. Racing tonight in 1600 Sedans at Nowra Speedway.

Broke the steering rack in heat 2, starting raining during the meeting, and we were the first race out after it stopped so the track was complete shit.

Well my car sucked a bunch of dick tonight. Full throttle around the track and losing 5 seconds a lap. NSW Championship next weekend, hope it's a quick fix.

Finished 6th in the NSW Modified Production Championship.

The tube that runs from the back of the engine through the firewall to the oil pressure gauge split, so oil was leaking into the cabin, all over the battery, gearbox, and my feet, so he had to retire early at risk of catching fire in the cabin, and blowing a motor. Finished 7th in Heat 1, but DNF heat 2.

South Coast #2! Finished 2nd in the South Coast Modified Production Championships.

First race of the season. Lost oil pressure in heat 2.

Yee.
