We had a great race meeting at Archerfield Speedway on 10th December, which is always good coming into our busiest time for speedway racing in Australia.

I quick timed my group. Heat 1 I started out of 6th and finished 2nd. I managed to get through the field pretty good and achieve some good points towards the feature race. Heat 2 I started from pole but mid-way through the heat race I chose the wrong line and was over taking on the bottom which meant I finished in 2nd. Still some reasonable points for me and so qualified overall in 3rd position.

I started the dash in 3rd and after the highest points scorer did the draw, I dropped back 1 spot. Started the feature out of 4th, but I struggled for grip on the track for a while during the race but found a good line towards the end. I did drop back to 5th at one stage but with a couple of tough battles I fought my way back up into 4th place again. With a lap and a little bit to go I got to the back of 3rd place, but a lapped car got in-between us and I was unable to pass him which meant I finished 4th. Still a great result for me for this time of the year.

I’ll take that result and head to Warrnambool for the Max’s Race Sprintcar Challenge (a feature of the Premier Speedway calendar attracting many awesome drivers and named in recognition of former local Max Dumesny).

I have not raced the Max’s Challenge in my career yet, so I am keen to get back to Warrnambool and go around there again. That track is an unreal race track and I really enjoy it.

I would like to thank my sponsors and family for giving me the opportunity to race, thank you.
