Post by Mark Fox »

Hi All
Sorry to take so long to post these results but here goes.

Twelve starters for both classes so we had two full races in each on the fast but tricky SSME 6 lane circuit.

Race 1

All the way win for Troy here followed by Gregg holding down 2nd. Casey held down 3rd for 5 brackets but had a shocker on Red in the last bracket to allow Andrew to take the podium with Stevo and Peter bringing up the rear.

Race 2
This race was very close and nobody was giving any quarter.

I lead for 4 brackets until I hit White (now 2nd) and Red (now 3rd) with Darryl finishing strongly to take the win followed closely by the fast finishing (and rapidly improving) local driver Jason.

Wayne followed my excellent lead by fading from 4th to 6th at the White/Red end of the track whilst Kenny and Shalin plugged away to finish 4th and 5th respectively.

GT1

Race 1
Troy led for half the race followed by Andrew and at the half-way mark they swapped for Andrew to take the win.
Stevo got off to a slow start (on Red) but then held 3rd spot from the second bracket on followed by Casey who held down 4th from the beginning to end followed by Shalin and Peter who mixed it up a little.

Race 2
Wayne led out early in this one until the 3rd bracket when Jason took over followed by Darryl to relegate Wayne to 3rd.
Gregg got into the act to push Wayne down 1 more spot and grab 3rd for himself whilst Mark held on for 5th. Previous SSME round winner Kenny hit troubles from the start and was never in it.
