Macdonald on the Podium
Monday November 8, 2010

Shane Macdonald brought his Toowoomba Steering and Suspension sponsored Commodore home in 2nd place on Saturday night after starting from 5th on the grid for the 20 lap final. Shane worked the high line to his advantage getting into second position on the last lap.
The night didnt start off to well with Shane having to replace the CV joint in the tailshaft before the first heat. Shane started from position 3 in the first heat and despite showing good car speed was unable to make a pass. Luke Hollyman won the heat followed by Ferguson and Macdonald. Shane managed a 5th in his second heat and was able to make the most of his front row start for the final heat. Shane taking the win ahead of Mark Ferguson and Darren White.
The final saw Greg Worling start from position 1, followed by Robert Trapp, Mark Ferguson, Dennis Bullpitt, Shane and Todd Doyle rounding out the top 6. The race got underway and Shane settled into position 4 behind Mark Ferguson. After a few laps Shane was feeling confident in the car and started to run the high line in order to find a way past Fergie. This allowed Bullpitt in on the action which resulted in a 3 way battle between Ferguson, Bullpitt and Macdonald. Macdonald eventually finding a way around the outside into position 3. With 5 laps to go a stoppage was brought on to clear some debris from the track. This allowing the field to bunch up and giving shane one last chance to move up the order. Shane ran the high line again as the track was starting to slick off a little, Shane managing to make a pass on Trappy on the last lap to come home in second position behind Greg Worling. Mark Ferguson Crossed the line in second followed by Trappy and Dennis Bullpitt. Shane would especially like to thank Matt Burke, Trappy, Darren Ciesolka and Dad for their help in changing the Cv Joint in the tail shaft and the Bottom control arm before the final.
