Oakleigh August Club Day

Time for another club day, this time at Oakleigh; haven't raced heavy here since top guns. Should be a fun weekend.
We later found that the carby had a crack in it, so that was something.
Competitors:
Liam Pollard #4
Jakob Searles #17
Braden Clark #18 [Me]
Riley Jabke #44
Qualifying
I Qualified 2nd with a cracked carby, only a 42:90 which was 0.222 seconds off.
Heat 1
A pass off the start and I won, second win ever, still with a cracked carby.
Heat 2
Lead until the last lap when I got bombed at the last second, still with a cracked carby.
Heat 3
NIGHT RACING
Rubbish start, dropped to 3rd by the end of the 1st lap. Coming into the Carousel the leader slowed up causing me to bump in to second and almost spin him. Chose not to speed off. I passed second and we worked on catching the leader, soon doing so and I passed him, then he pushed me straight off the track. Dropped back to third and finished there.
Final
We borrowed a carby from Dean & Jai Sparey, thank you to them.
I won by half a lap or something.
Did a 43:188 in dark, damp conditions.
Results:
1st: Braden Clark #18 [Me]
2nd: Hamish Tonkin #28
3rd: Riley Jabke #44
4th: Jakob Searles #17
5th: Liam Pollard #4 [Sadly dropped a chain on the last lap at the carousel]
Fun weekend, great to have fun and talk with my mates.
