Round Eight of the East Coast Logistics Sprintcar Track Championship Series was at Archerfield Speedway on Wednesday 29th December.
I managed to get my very first QUICK TIME of my racing career, which means the fastest qualifier out of everyone!
Heat 1 was a good clean run where I made up 3 places. Heat 2 I went back 2 places but it didn’t really matter as I had good points and basically just had to finish to be in the dash.
The dash was a bronze, silver and gold shoot out. I was in the silver coming in 4th overall in points. The way this worked is 5, 6, 7 and 8 are all on the track at once time trailing and the 2 fastest times stay on and the next 2 cars join.
So I joined the 2 fastest cars from the bronze and got 3rd – this meant I started from 5th in the feature, which is awesome.
The feature was tough for me as I am still learning where to place the car and how to drive the car in the slick. There is definitely an art to driving in the slick but I am getting there slowly.
I was a little disappointed with this feature as I started in 5th position but went backwards (which I really didn’t enjoy). However, that’s racing and I definitely have to learn how to drive in all conditions, so we will keep going and most importantly learning along the way.
