Damian’s report
What an excellent night’s racing we all had, the heat was hot but some of the racing was hotter across all the grades. Firstly a huge thanks to Scott Liston who set up the bunting and the FELT bike display (note the blatant sponsor mention). All the grades had some great racing and enjoyed the cash prizes handed out. D grade was a closely fought tussle between Richard Ly and Shane Calvert. Mick Jamieson and Felix Smalley swapped positions with Steve Hona and Matt Clipstone but coming into the last lap Mick and Felix held off a strong finish from Steve. With Mick just edging ahead in the last half a lap, awesome racing guys. In B Grade we had some visitors from NTIS, (thanks for coming guys) Mitchell Vanetti held of a very determined Michael Gray with Dyon Balding coming in for third. It was also a very good race and it is great to see the like of Michael coming up through the grades and setting times that could now rival some of the A graders. Then the A graders lit up the track (ok dusted would be a better description) with three riders taking the lead fairly quickly and it was evident that the cash was going to taken by one these riders. After the second lap Scotty was a little unfamiliar with the slight track changes (was he there when they were made earlier that afternoon, I think so) and miscalculated corner so that left Peter Kutchera and Luke Fetch to fight it out, and they both swapped lap for lap until Luke squeezed Peter and made a 6 sec gap on lap 8 and that extended a few more second on the last lap, great racing guys and congrats to Luke for taking 100 cold hard from us.
Drive carefully over the festive days and see you all the 6th JAN….
Thanks for everyone helping out and we look forward to seeing you all fit and well in the new year
Keiren we are thinking of you.
