Night 1 Recap
Travis’ night started out with a very wet track which delayed the commencement of heat 1. After what felt like forever and many laps of track packing (hoping not to run out of fuel) they were in their way to gridding up!
Heat 1 saw Travis start out of P6 and got a cracking start. He managed to make his way forward to take P3.
Heat 2 Travis was the pole sitter and upon green he got the slight jump on the field but would soon wash a little bit wide and allow cars underneath. Sitting comfortably in 3rd in the dying laps, with Travis trying everything he could to catch the front he unfortnantly caught the inside lip on track sending him spearing up into the wall making hard contact and resulted in a DNF.
The team inspected the damage & found that on impact some important engine components expired and as they say that’s all she wrote.
As Travis’ National Title looks to be over for 2026, the team are going to reassess this morning with talks of replacing the broken engine components and hopefully Trav can get back out tonight to cut a few more laps. 🤞🏻
