I very happy with the car right from the start and posted a great time in the first round of qualifying that put me third on the grid. I didn't improve in the following 3 rounds, a combination of me trying different things to the car and a couple of driving cocks up! I was hoping for 3rd on the grid but got pushed back to 4th in the last round of qualifying.
Got off to a decent start in the finals but then made a small mistake which left me stuck on the barrier. Ended up 6th overall. Decent start to the season, couldn't be happier with the car, handled like a dream and was plenty quick enough. Unfortunately I can't make the Maritime National but I am looking forward to the rest of the season.
There was bad news at the national though, Ardent Raceway is going to have to close its current venue due to some health and safety non sense! After all the work John Dawson, Ian Plimmer and the rest of the crew put in it is such shame. They are currently looking for a new venue so hopefully we can be racing there again soon. I love the summer and winter series events so hopefully they will be back.
Here are some pics from the day, phone pics again sorry!

This was a surprise at the start of the days as well. Wim Goss presented me with this trophy for winning the Chesterfield Summer Shootout last year. Thanks to Kev Creaser and Wim for this, was over the moon! Can't wait for the summer shootout this year.
