Rainfall
cancels Brisbane
Sunday, 29
April 2007
Rain
has caused the cancellation of last nights racing (28th April).
Shane Macdonald had raced his two heats, and soon after the rain
came down, not heavily but enough to ruin the rest of the night.
The Sprintcar QLD Title was actually run today (29th April) with
Andrew Scheuerle winning the Title.
Shane
started from position 3 in heat one. Shane moved into 2nd place by
lap one as he chased race leader Dale Grother. Both car were very
evenly matched as they both maintained and equal car-length between
themselves. Greg Worling got up the inside of Macdonald, in what
was an awesome spectacle, seeing two cars race side by side for
about 4 laps with no contact. Shane had his work cut out for him,
racing Worling around the outside. In the end Macdonald edged out
Worling across the line. Grother took the win with Macdonald 2nd,
and Worling 3rd.
Heat two
saw Shane start from position 5. Shane once again started to move
forward, as he was running 3rd, Mark Ferguson got up the inside of
Shane around turn 1, as the two cars touched Shane rode a wheel
which sent Macdonald on two wheels, as he came back down heavily the
car turned around. The race was restarted with Macdonald put back
to position 3 and Ferguson put to the rear of field. As the race
got underway, Shane surged on pushing his VS Commodore all the way.
As he came into turn 1, the right rear of the car bit in hard which
then saw the car tip on two wheels and almost roll. Macdonald was
very lucky not to go over, after quick thinking from Shane he turned
right to bring it back down. Shane kept the throttle down and
managed to finish in 3rd.
A light
drizzle fell on the track which saw the night cancelled.
