Hi everyone .
Well got out to racing another NDRC national event on the weekend . I had planned/entered an event at mt local track here in Sydney . Hiwever weather caused a postponement so I tried my luck for a late entry to South Coast Raceways NDRC event . South Coast is a western conference round . Got an entry so off I went Friday in convoy with my mate . 14 hrs later we arrived .
I have raced here before , great 1/8 mile track with good prep and great crew and racers . The track us virtually on the southern coast if Australia , when its not windy its blowing a gale .
2 day event 3 qualifiers Saturday race Sunday .
Qualified #4 but could not find the tree all weekend . Not sure if because tree is incandesent abd I have run LED for last few years, but a bunch had same issue .
Race day I chose to run right lane all day , pretty normal .
Csr was running solid and with other lane red in semi I got a full pass . Then it was a 15 min hot turn around to final . So I added 1 number in dial to allow for heat .
Still couldnt get a great tree but for sure better than the other guys . At least till final . Michael rolled his 70 Nova in deep and dropped a 0.008 on me. Could not match it and broke out on brake with a 6.60 on a .62 .
Overall a real good weekend on a late decision entry and as a banker event towards end of season .
Puts me into 4th in Western and 1st I think in Eastern but really sets me up for grand final invitational 🤞
So thats 4 rounds - 1/4 final , semi and 2 runner ups .
