Wow if you are an open wheeler fan Palmy is the place to be this weekend. Good to see the open wheelers spreading their wings at new tracks to help promote their classes.
Wish I wasnt working otherwise the trip would have been perfect

I just couldn’t face battling the holiday traffic and good old Airnz are still rorting us on domestic fares. Too expensive to go to Ruapuna for the gold cup too.

I guess cheap is subjective but last I looked it was circa $600 return, same as it was to palmy. Add accomodation and a rental car and it adds up fast for us poor pensioners 😀

Mosen won 2 heats and feature.
Big fight with Pickens in feature lead changed a number of times with Pickens winning restarts but Mosen passing again a few laps later each time.

Great to see Pickens car fixed and back racing after last night. Mosen just looked faster. Well done to Brad.
Allard unlucky in feature. Would have been a great battle.

Yes Brad just seemed to have the knife edge was exciting to watch the duel between the two of them ..
Poor old Johnathon Allard caught him napping ,having a blond moment off the pace a little ,but for Pickens he was lucky and got passed ..
