Thanks Wade Maisey and Pedders.
Lets see if we can win some of this

Getting close.
You dont want to miss this one!

Round 2 wrap:

Brian was on 'double duty' in the wingless and sprintcar. Michael was out in the sprintcar as well.

The NQ3 sprintcar had a rough night. There was some confusion with qualifying lap times, then due to multiple stopages we ran out of fuel while leading the first heat getting a DNF and zero points, the second heat we moved forward a position. We started the feature in 7th and finished 5th overall.
We have a straight car and will prepare for thunder.

NQ4 hit the track but was involved in an incident and didnt line up for the feature.

The wingless racing went well, finishing our second feature in a wingless and collecting the teams second win. Along the way we managed to set a new lap record for the class.
The wingless class is such a great crew to race with and it is a pleasure to represent the q77 and Carlo Cappelletto.

Thanks to the crew, family, fans and amazing sponsors.
