Bullpitt takes
out feature race
Posted: 01/12/03
Saturday
night saw Macdonald Racing race at Brisbane once again. With a very
difficult track to race on, most drivers found it hard to pass early
on, with the track being a "one lane track". The first heat saw
Nathan out of postion 1 while Shane was out of postion 2. This was
a single row start. Nathan was able to create a small lead while
Shane was running second when his fuel pump cut out, which put him
out of heat 1. Nathan won the race with Chris Duffel 2nd and Dennis
Bullpitt 3rd.
For
heat 2 Shane was from position 4 with Nathan starting right behind
him. Dennis in the #10 car broke out into the lead while Shane
managed to get up into 2nd with Nathan right behind him. After a
few laps, there was a stoppage after Tony Blacker stopped on the
track. Once again Shane experienced fuel pump troubles when the
race started again, while his brother took advantage of the
situation taking 2nd. Dennis Bullpitt took out the race win after
it was declared because of too many stoppages. Nathan was 2nd with
Chris Duffel 3rd.
For
the feature Nathan came up with the points which put him on pole
position with Dennis beside him and Shane at the rear. On the start
Dennis was able to get better drive up high and took the lead.
Macdonald trying his all to pass Bullpitt, getting up beside him on
the straights but wasn't able to pull off a passing move. After
chasing Bullpitt, Nathan's car developed overheating problems which
made him pull on the infield. While that allowed Shane to step up
from the rear and take 2nd place. Dennis won his first Feature race
with the East Coast A Grade, while Shane was 2nd and Tanya Blacker
in the pink car 3rd. The next time you'll see the Macdonald Racing
Team will be at Charlton Raceway on the 6th December.
