We went away last weekend to Oxford for Trey to have just one more good race meeting before we finish to focus on his new chassis for next season. We never set any expectations but just wanted to have a good weekends racing and to run against fast drivers from around the country to get a gauge on where Trey and his current car development are at.
An electrical fault cost him a DNF in his 1st qual however a massive effort in Q2 & 3 saw him still manage to go thru to the finals by 1x point.
Sunday morning saw us draw grid 15,5 & 13 which had us thinking a good finish was out of reach but at least Trey would get a good days racing.
A massive effort payed off in all 3x races, including getting wrongly put back 9 places on a red light and turned on the last corner of the final 15 lap race and recovering to still finish in 4th place and taking out 2nz.
This is only Treys 2nd year in speedway and at 14 years old, he is looking forward to next season in his new chassis we are currently building.
We would like to use this opportunity to thank all the people who have helped Trey along the way: Craig Boote, Aaron Gray, Nick Fowler, Tom and Brian Stanaway, Mark Walford, Jim Chambers, the Ewing and Carpenter families and Nelson Speedway. This ones for you.
We met some great people, cheer's the Malia and Eckersley families and of course Oxford Speedway.
See you all next season.
