Congratulations to Karen!

driver of the night I thought was Lindsay Gilbert.started off row 5 in the final and used the top of the track while most of the rest stuck to the bottom. Not sure that he would have enough power to get past Forsey, but if he made his move earlier.......was another fairly enjoyable night at Ruapuna- great fireworks show too!

Awww Man........for a little while there last night all three of my previously picked drivers were well and truely in contention (all running in the top 4) and then - it all fell apart - great drive from Forsey to come through the pack to take the title - Scott just had no answer once she got close and past! Would have been interesting if there were another 10 laps and maybe another orange - just to see what "Farmer Gilbert" could have done with the others right in his sights - he sure took a fair amount of the crowds attention off the leaders with his seemingly wreckless (couple of close calls there i'm guessing eh Gilby?) approach to the corners........awesome to watch!  Surprise drive of the night for me was Steve Mora (17e) in the second heat - sure he was off the front, but he was GOOONE! weve seen glimpses of Mora's potentail in the past but probably never the complete performance we saw in that heat! Even more of a surprise was the fact that it was a FORD that won the race ;D Sdemon |

My sponsor said he wanted good coverage so I thought the closer I get to the crowd the better  It was good to see a good crowd turnout and I hope they went away thinking they got there money's worth. Cheers Lindsay. |
