Macdonald
secures another Feature win
Posted: 18/01/04
After a very wet
weekend, Speedway was a sure bet that it would be cancelled, but
come Saturday afternoon, the skies were blue. The scheduled meeting
at Brisbane Speedway went ahead. Shane wasn't racing as his car
wasn't quite ready, but is very near completion. Nathan was in
attendance, and ready to make the most of it as his brother was out
of action. In the first heat on a greasy track, Nathan started on
position 2 with Bill Tronc on the inside. Bill was able to take the
lead into the first corner, while Nathan didn't have the pace and
dropped back to 4th. A stoppage saw Chris Duffel hit the fence,
which put him on the infield. A few laps later, the yellow flag
were out again, which saw Shane Hollyman stop just before hitting
the wall, with the race then being declared. Heat 1 saw 1st Dale
Grother 2nd Bill Tronc 3rd Nathan Macdonald.
Heat 2 had Nathan
starting in fourth position. Still on a greasy track, Nathan was
unable to keep up with leaders, but ended up finishing 3rd again,
after Dale Grother blew an engine. Heat 2- 1st Tony Blacker 2nd
Shane Hollyman 3rd Nathan Macdonald. For the feature Tony
Blacker was highest point scorer which saw him on pole, with Nathan
beside him. After plenty of races the track was showing plenty of
stick. On the start Nathan was able to take the lead into the first
corner and was never troubled all race. The car was proving to be
in top order ready for Mackay in a week's time. Tony Blacker was
running second until drifting wide, allowing Shane Hollyman past and
into second. That's how they finished 1st Nathan Macdonald 2nd
Shane Hollyman 3rd Tony Blacker.
The next race meeting
will be over 2 nights (24th & 25th January) Nathan, Shane, Rodney
Pammenter, Shane Langton, Peter Rodgers and Darren Lester will head
to Mackay to race for $1000.
