Finally time for racing again, hoping for some improvement from Warrnambool. We pitted with Liam Pollard again as we have all year. We really wanted a consistent front-runner result.
Qualifying
I Qualified 6th out of 19, which I was pretty happy with.

Heat 1.
It began raining on the grid and we didn't have enough time to change to wets. I dropped to 12th off the start, followed by a synchronised spin with Liam. We both rejoined, and I let him through on the next straight as he was on wets. I was 5 tenths a lap faster than anyone else on slicks, and another 2.9 seconds a lap quicker than the third fastest on slicks. Finished 11th.
Heat 2.
Starting 11th, I moved to 9th off the start. Made a move on Riley on lap 4, followed by a really fun battle with Sam on lap 5, and passed back by Riley on lap 6. Finished 7th.
Final.
Starting 11th I got a fouled plug on the roll around laps. I moved to 5th on the first lap, which was really good, but there was a full course yellow making my plug even worse. I tried tuning the carby but was unable to get it right. When we went back to racing, I dropped 1 position every lap for 3 laps, and stayed in 8th for the rest of the race. Got a 3 sec penalty for crossing the line at the start when I was trying to tune my carby.
Overall the most fun weekend of racing so far, but I am looking to be much more consistently at the front. I was having fun now through, unlike Top Guns. I will hopefully be much quicker at VKS Blue Plate at Puckapunyal.
