Saloon Jan 12
Group 12 Saloon tonight and a modest turnout of 9 drivers. Charlie was back on form, setting one of only two 40+ heats in qualifying. With two more big 39s to go with it he easily took pole position with a total of 119.76. Woody was the only other in the 40s, but with a couple of 38s to go with it he ended up 2 laps back on Charlie to take second spot. Chris did a 39 along with a 38 and a 37 to take third place and Mick with three straight 37s took the last place in the A final. Trev was the unlucky one to miss out on a final with his car having severe handling problems.
So, Corky, Kevin, Roger and Kev lined up for the B final. Kevin was the one setting the pace from the off, and he kept up a steady pace to record his best 3 minute stint of the night with 38.23 to take the win. Behind him, Corky, Kev and Roger were having a bit of a dog fight. Corky, with his trusty Falcon !!, drove a steady race behind Kevin and with Kev having too many offs to mount a decent challenge, Corky ran in second with 37.73. Roger was also having a decent drive to challenge Kev (37.06) for third but, again, some late offs put paid to his race and he took fourth place with 35.84.
Charlie, Woody, Chris and Mick then set off in the A final and Woody’s challenge was virtually over before it began with an off on the very first lap. Charlie set a steady pace and was lapping consistently slightly quicker than the others and was never headed. He drove a comfortable race in front and came home with a winning total of 40.43. Meanwhile, Woody and Chris were having a good battle with Woody getting back on terms with Chris and Mick hanging on to their shirt tails. Woody got past Chris late in the race and managed to hang on and take second place with 39.79 to Chris’s 39.48, a decent finish to a frenetic race. Mick was never too far back and finished up in fourth, a lap down on Chris with 38.46.
