Flat tyre brings premature end to the night
Sunday December 31, 2006
Shane was forced out of the feature race at Brisbane Speedway on Saturday night when the right rear tyre popped off the rim whilst running 5th.  Macdonald had qualified out of 9th in the feature and was dicing with Gary Maroske.

Macdonald's first heat saw him start out of 2nd place, as the race got underway, Macdonald went straight to the lead.  Shane led for several laps when Mark Ferguson got up the inside down the back straight, Shane stayed on the outside around turn 4 but the car caught a rut an lifted onto two wheels.  Macdonald had to back off quickly to get back down to ground.  Shane dropped back to 3rd place, which is where he finished. 

Heat number two found Macdonald at the rear of the field in 8th.  Macdonald made a few outside moves to come through and finish 5th.  After changing the setup slightly, the car was feeling better as the night went on.  Macdonald qualified out of position 9 for the final.

Shane started moving through the field as he found his way up to 5th place, and dicing with Gary Maroske.  Macdonald was pushing the high line, trying to find a way past Maroske, but while doing so popped the right rear tyre off the rim, which forced Macdonald out of the race.

Robert Trapp was leading the race for half race distance until Mark Ferguson made his way past and into the lead.  Ferguson won the feature event with Trapp finishing right behind him in 2nd with Steve Downes in 3rd.

Shane will be looking to make ammends tonight at Charlton Raceway as he takes on 5 other cars in a Holden VS Ford Modified Production Challenge, with Shane, Robert Trapp and Rodney Pammenter driving for Holden and Dennis Bullpitt, Royce Ernst and Steve Price driving for Ford.
