Race Report - SRC 2018 Round 4 - HSC
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2018 12:54 pm
Hi All.
A great turn-out for the 4th round of the SRC Series on Tuesday 24th July at HSC with 16 entries for GT1 and 15 for Retro CanAm.
Good to see Jason Brookes back for more retro racing and the return of Wayne and Cody Bramble. Another racer I had not seen for many a year – John Little was also having a crack with the GT1’s together with the usual suspects from SSME and HSC.
So the order of the evening was – plenty of marshals – yay.
GT1
Race 1
Welcome back to Cody who blitzed the field to win by 10 laps after leading all the way over Wayne Baxter who followed Cody in 2nd all the way just edging out Stoo in 3rd after a race long battle with Wayne Bramble.
Jason enjoyed his outing with his loaner (don’t know whose but maybe Gregg T’s?) to finish over the top of John Little after a bit of a tussle whilst Stevo and Ron circulated in the less pointy end of the field.
Race 2
Casey always goes well on this track and tonight was no exception with an all the way win over Wayne Walker by 7 laps. Pretty close overall (apart from Casey) with 5 laps between 2nd and 6th. Darryl had a bad night expiring in the 6th bracket to take the spoon.
Washup
A really good win for Casey overall also setting fastest laps on all lanes.
CanAm
Race 1
Cody all the way to win with a hot total of 184 laps.
The drive of the day for mine was Jason with a loaner from Darryl to take 2nd with a great total of 179 followed by Wayne Bramble on 177.
Stevo circulated around in 4th for the whole race whilst being chased by Wayne Baxter and Shalin. Unfortunately Andrew and Ron retired hurt.
Race 2
All the way win for me excepting the 1st bracket on Red where I ran into so many cars parked in the gutter it was devastating – but all good in the end.
Troy, Gregg and Darryl had a great battle to finish within 2 laps of each other 9 laps up on Wayne Baxter. Stoo had a night he would rather forget after a bad start on Orange but him behind the 8 Ball and Casey came down to earth after blitzing us all on the Big Track.
Washup
Cody was on fire on the super well prepped track and threw down the gauntlet to Retro Drivers.
The 4 Hour Enduro 2 Sundays previous had his finger well-tuned and he set the fastest laps on all lanes and thus emulated Casey on the Big Track.
I had a bit of a rough time but managed to edge out Jason for 2nd who pipped Troy for 3rd. Only 4 laps between 2nd and 7th shows how close the racing was – behind Cody.
Many Thanks again to James who as usual had the tracks in top notch condition for the night.
