#72 Samuel Gibson
#18 Braden Clark (Me)
#44 Riley Jabke
#4 Liam Pollard
#3 Maximus Cudasko
Qualifying
Qualified 2nd (like ive done every damn time at this track in heavy this year)
Heat 1
Leading until lap 9 when I got passed by Sam and Riley followed
Heat 2
Was following Samuel until I got bombed and ran off the track. Ended 3rd.
Heat 3
I was leading until The guy in 3rd went for the lead and completely t-boned me. Ended 3rd, But got disqualified for hitting his kart into the pits. (Stupid of me)
Final
Starting last, I was determined to win. I got to 4th off the start, got to 3rd at the dipper, and was 3rd at the end of the first lap. I got to 2nd on lap 5, and only had 1 more spot left. I went for it on lap 8 at JSKC, but he went along side me and tried to run me off. I got my nosecone stuck in his rear bumper, and held it flat on the grass inside his rear bumper all the way to Tony Kart. I dropped to 3rd, Had to catch up for a third time, but once I caught up they collided at Tony Kart, and I got the win. SUPER HAPPY!
Was a great weekend at the end, and with dampness and very light rain on slicks, it was so good to drive.
Bring on Top Guns!

Qualifying
I qualified 12th out of 16, but this was with carby issues again.
Heat 1
I finished 10th in heat 1, still with carby issues. Got a good start into 6th but slowly dropped back.
Heat 2
For Heat 2 I started 12th again. I got to seventh on the start, but got passed on lap 2. It was a fun race, still with carby issues. Even then, I was only 3 seconds behind the leader! I still cant believe that 1st to 8th can be 3 seconds!
Heat 3
In heat 3 is started 9th. I still had carby issues, I finished 10th this time.
Heat 4
Heat 4 was easily the most fun race, I started and finished 7th this time, having great battles throughout! I was in 6th most of the race, making a move on lap 2 and getting passed on the second last lap. 5th, 6th and 7th were all so close, within half a second! Still with the carby issues.
Final
Starting 7th, I was really determined to get to 5th. I got a great start, into 4th! but at turn 2, there was a stack and I came out in 14th, dropping 10 positions! I climbed back to 11th by lap 5, but there was a massive gap to 10th. I caught up on lap 7, I was held up and went for a move but I was clearly turned in on, and dropped back to 14th and finished there.
Overall a fun weekend, would of liked to do much better in the final, but I had a great time pitting with Toby Waghorn, and having a bit of a chat with Samuel Davies. On to Portland!

ELKC September club day
Just a short one this time - The Puckapunyal September Club Day in preparation for the junior sprint. I managed to Qualify on pole which was great!
I had carby issues for the rest of the day, I finished last in all the races but 3rd in the final when someone got taken out.
Great for practising the track though.
