Was quite supprised at the way Shyane Alach handled himself last night.
As 1nz he would be somewhat of an ambassador for the sport yet after a tangle in turns 3 and 4 resulting in his wheel getting caught in the other cars nerf bar he exited his car and went to the other driver and shook him while still in his car, it wasnt a friendly shake as you could tell by his body language.

Then in the 40 lap feature he was passed by pickens on the inside(which was actually made over the pole line) and instead of staying out to be congratulated as 2nd place as he thought he got he just drove straight off the track(seemed like a bit of a tantrum to me) he was shortly after pushed back on to get his 1st place.

As a first time midget watcher I thoroughly enjoyed the racing but was greatly dissapointed in the way shayne handled himself.

8-)dirt fan, before critisising the guy get to know them ,, that was restrained , midget racing is meant to be non contact, after a few biff,s you get a little excited,the feature race you will not forget for some time im sure.shane was on his game ,, awesome run ace,,may there be many more....

Allach actually punched Gick in the head was very lucky not to be put on trailer for the night.
You think Allachs tantrum was bad you should have seen Pickens one when he found out he came 2nd DISGRACEFUL .

1nz was missing is 11a Alach as 11a was not listed in programme and 1nz was but never appeared all night

Guy's get over yourselfs that just added to the awesome racing from them all. Great seeing drivers come from the back of the feld to win. Bring back fasts from the rear. Awesome Shayne and good luck Brad in the states.

yes alach is 11a, as written on here i think he has chosen not to run the 1nz number,

nzs are going to be awesome if this and the nz midget series are anything to go by.

[Dirt_Fan]

dont get me wrong, he had an AWESOME race in the feature, no doubt and he clearly showed why he is 1nz, i just felt it to be a bit extreme (yes i know in the heat of the moment tempers can flare) for what was no doubt a racing incident (as you say a non contact class so i doubt he was trying to hit/nudge him)
I didnt stay to see pickens reaction and can understand why both drivers went off but the level they race at surely theyd be used to pressure and the ins and outs of a race meeting good or bad.
Again not to take away from either drivers skill as was clearly shown.

[percy]

Both Pickens and Alach are very passionate drivers who put in 110% every time they go out on the track. Their passion is one of the reasons why both drivers are so successful.

I thought the officials dealt with the Alach situation really well. There was nothing to be achieved by putting Alach out for the night. It was all a bit of a non-event really.

The race sets up the international series perfectly and I'm looking forward to seeing if the Kiwi's can foot it with Jerry Coons Jr.

coons is a great racer but the guy that will create most problems for the kiwis will be kevin swindell, this guy is simply awesome combine his talent along with him driving the best equipped car money can buy ie barry grahams spike/hawk aus no1 and not to mention graham on the crew along with assistance from 5 times chili bowl winner sammy swindell for my money kevin swindell has the class and gear to sweep all before him in the international series , thats if we do not have continual yellow flags for noise issues but thats another senario go the bulldog ;D
