Macdonald takes 2nd at Kingaroy
Monday, 7 May 2007
Kingaroy was the venue for yet another race meeting for Shane Macdonald.  7 cars were nominated for the event but this didn't stop them from putting on one hell of a show.

Shane started off the front row in his first heat, with hard charger Gavin Fletcher beside him.  As the lights went green, Macdonald and Fletcher were side by side for nearly a lap, but it was Macdonald that managed to get ahead and into the lead.  Shane had his V6 Commodore dialled in nicely and went on to win the heat with Gavin Fletcher not far behind and Brett Barron 3rd.

Heat two saw Shane start out of position 4.  The caution lights were on as the cars started to roll past the start finish line, and all of a sudden the lights went green just after the start line.  Most cars got caught out, but Brett Barron advanced from the rear up to 2nd in the first corner.  Shane dropped back to 6th after the start, but managed to gain two placings and finish 4th.

Shane started from position 6 in the third heat, as he drove into 5th on the first lap.  Shane then made another move up the inside of a car and slipped into 4th spot which is where he finished.

For the feature, Macdonald qualified in 3rd place, with Gavin Fletcher on pole and Brett Barron on the outside.  Shane held his ground on the start and comfortably slipped into 3rd place.  Fletcher was out in front with Barron in 2nd.  Shane ran wide in turn 2 which saw him get held out and dropped back to 4th.  The yellows come on after an incident involving Brett Barron and Steven Geritz, which saw Barron go to the rear.  Geritz was now 2nd and Macdonald 3rd.  The race got underway again with Fletcher leading the way.  Geritz was running 2nd until he pulled infield with a problem, which left it open for Shane to claim 2nd spot.  Macdonald was slowing with a few laps to go, as the left rear tyre was deflating after a hit in the mag wheel in the final, which broke a piece out of the rim.  Brett Barron caught up to Macdonald but Shane managed to keep it together and crossed the line in 2nd, with Barron 3rd.  Gavin Fletcher took the win.

Shane will now have a short break from racing to focus on the QLD Title at Gympie on the 10th & 11th June, followed up by the final race of the season at Maryborough on the 16th June.
