Hi all, the first round of the South Australian Motor Racing Championship was on at Mallala last weekend. The car went very well (as always) thanks to my crew chief/mechanic/husband Craig.
Unfortunately I was stuck with some 'pre-loved' tyres due to budget constraints, but we used the meeting to tinker with some suspension settings and to try out some new brake pads.
I qualified 10th out of 11 with a couple of spins and a best lap time of 1:25.8 - that is 1.5 seconds slower than my personal best from last year.
I was happy with my 9th place in Race 1 as I was feeling a bit more settled in & more used to the different car setup.
Race 2 was messy again but I was able to move up to 8th. Race 3 was the best for the day, with the car handling very well throughout this longer race and I was able to 'drive around' the old tyres a bit better. I had some good battles with one of the series newcomers and finished 6th.
I am 6th in the SA points with 4 more rounds to go for 2007.
Cheers,
Naomi
