A quick catch up on the first of the races comprising the HSC Retro Series for 2016 held on the Flat Track.
CanAm Only 7 entries tonight with a few regulars absent for various reasons so two heats of four and three was the format.
Heat 1 saw (L-R) Bill, Matthew, James and Neil battle it out.

Darryl lead for the first 5 brackets until he hit Black. Paul had a miserable day by his standards and held down 3rd all the way. My winning total of 181 laps came off the back of 5 sets of 23 for the last 5 brackets and was only a lap shy of my total lap record. Darryl was rapt to set a personal best of 180 - fast racing.

Darryl managed to stay out of trouble and led all the way whilst enjoying not being part of the carnage that ensued. I hit a car parked in a corner and that took a bit of sorting - bad luck for me as the car was a bullet for the second part of the race. Paul continued his run of bad luck for the evening and lost 3 brackets to a damaged front end whilst Bill also lost the last 3 brackets. Neil just kept cruising around trying to stay out of trouble and picked up third for his trouble.
