SRC CanAm Series Rnd 4 @ Raceworld

[Mark Fox]

Following on from the Retro round at Raceworld; a few days earlier; the 4th round of the SRC series was run and the CanAm race was again a really close run affair.

Eight racers saw 2 races of 4 apiece and this is how it unfolded.

Race 1 had Cody, James, Greg and myself line up. Cody and I were on the same lap (sometimes separated by the counter) for the first 5 brackets! I finally got a 2 lap break on Cody in the 6th and held on to finally take the win by 3 on 343 laps . The pace was too hot for Greg who finished on a creditable 329 whilst James unfortunately ran into big trouble and missed about half the race.

Race 2 was always going to be about who could chase down 343 laps which meant equaling or beating the current lap total record of 344 laps.

Well Lindsay gave it a real good shake as he set off to do just that but just fell short by a lap. After the first bracket he was always trailing by at least a lap but set the fastest time of the night of 3.994 as he gave chase. Jake was next on a good 329 followed by Bob on 323. Brad had a miserable night as his car was destroyed after only 2 laps.

Thanks for the Report Mark,.. certainly looks like some very close racing on the Night

Did you perhaps Not notice your Own 3.7sec' time turned on Orange ??

Yes I forgot to mention that - unfortunately it was a short lap provided by a rider I believe - it would have been a World Record otherwise I think?

Hope we see you at the Brabham.
