The team made the trek to Lismore Speedway in NSW on Saturday night for round 4 of the Modified Production HDS Series.  For the first heat Shane was greeted with a track that was already turning rough.  Macdonald started from position three for his first heat.  The track was showing big ruts midtrack, Macdonald fell back to 6th before charging back with a vengeance as Macdonald ran a higher line which seemed to work for the better.  Shane made a daring move around the outside of Michael Hally and into 3rd.  Shane then brushed the wall in turn 4, which let Hally back through.  Shane finished in a comfortable 4th placing.

The second heat saw Macdonald start out of fifth place as he battled with Troy Ware for 4th spot.  Macdonald was on the inside of Ware on several occasions but couldn't make a pass and had to settle for 5th. 

The final heat of the night saw a five car pile up after Neil Coomber and Darryl Neisler come together and stopped on the track, which left no room or time for anyone else as they all tried to avoid it.  Brendan Randall was the first casualty, suffering major front end damage, Brian Learoyd also got caught up in the action, which saw him finish in fifth but could only turn the car left.  Shane Macdonald was involved as well after starting from 7th place, but was able to keep going with some damage to the k-frame and suspension.  Shane drove on to finish third  Temporary repairs were made after the heat as it was not fixable at the race track.  Macdonald also had a bent pannard bar which was replaced.

As the 22-car field lined up for the A-main, it was Jason Jolley to start from pole position with Dale Grother out of position two.  Shane Macdonald started from 9th in the feature race.  Shane had moved into 7th place by half race distance, when he made contact with the wall and dropped back to 9th.  The car was still ok as Shane pressed on.  Unfortunately Macdonald found a big rut coming out of turn 4 and bounced the car up the straight and smacked the wall very hard, this time the car would not come out of this one unscathed.  The car sufferering suspension damage to the right front wheel.  Only about 2 laps were left on the clock at this stage and at the same time coming into turn one, Mark Ferguson and Michael Hally bumped wheels on what was a rough track which sent Ferguson into the wall.  Mark kept it going but as he took off, the steering broke from the impact, turning his car around in front of Gavin Fletcher.  Fletcher had nowhere to go and the two collided which sent Ferguson rolling five or six times down the back straight.  In what was a nasty incident, Ferguson was still able to climb out of the car and ok.  The race was then declared which saw Todd Doyle take the win.  In what would have been a minor consolation,  Mark Ferguson was awarded second place with Michael Hally third, followed by Shane Langton, Dale Grother, Mark Raymont, Aiden Raymont, Shane Macdonald and Gary Maroske. 

Macdonald was credited with 8th placing as the final placings went back two laps.

Shane will now park the car in the shed for repairs after finding the k-frame is bent and needs replacing, as well as the differential being bent.  The car will be checked over with a fine toothed comb in preparation for the next hit-out at Rockhampton Speedway for Round 5 of the HDS Series.
