Finally a chance for a write up.
Saturday we finally got to race on nelson for the first time this season.
Firstly this was a pretty special meeting for me as it was the first time i got to have my little man Arlo and fiancé Renee there with me in support.
Secondly thanks to Daniel Honey and the blenheim misfits for allowing to me to race for you guys in a teams race against the knights. Was a good battle all race till little muz got me going into turn 3 and car wouldn't restart, turned out the fuel pump switch had turned itself off somehow. To little to late by time I worked it out as the race had finished.
Race 2 of the night was hectic. Went out the gate for the race and felt like something was up in the ass end but managed to battle all race with the fast lads and ended up 3rd. Back to the pits checked over the car and found a bent rear strut and loose bolt in the bottom arm causing the alignment to be miles out. Quick change and good to go.
Race 3 started good then I got spun by another car. Decided to have a play with him and finally got him back and unfortunately as I spun him his tyre popped and rolled. All in doing this on the red light I thought I heard over the radio I was told to go to the infield, turns out I was just meant to back up, but when pulled up infield noticed some steam coming from the front. Bumper corner had gone through the hoop into the radiator.
Race 4 got canned due to time restraints.
All in all awesome to have the 1uzJD on pace for once and good night with some damages to fix. Unfortunately we will not be wandering down to chch this weekend as repairs are more then I thought. So unsure on when next meeting will be.
Thanks to the wife Renee, big baz Bailey Jefcoate, Harry Moffatt-Schwass, Ann Maree Richardson and Darren for all the help over the night. Braden Russ for the use of your trailer.
