:way: Mick, with 64 cars they split the odds and even numbered cars. Being #7 Mick went out in the odds class, the track was wet and still sprinkling, he qualified 17th, to say he was disappointed would be an understatement. The even # cars went out 4 sessions later and the track had a dry line by now. They were to combine the times and place them in division one and division two. As the other session was dry most cars from the first qualifying were placed well down the order. Mick would have been placed in division two about position 5. The stewards of the meeting decided that Mick, Paul Stubber in another Camaro and Des Wall in the Geoghegan Mustang would not race in division two and placed them in division one from the rear of the grid.
Race 1- From the start Mick got a blinder and by half way round the track he had picked up 17 spots and with each lap he passed more cars and ended up finishing 4th.
Race 2 - From position four he had a Mustang, Porsche and Charger if front of him and at the start he blasted past them all to be in position one, he had a few cars length on Stubber in the Camaro and he was chasing Mick down. He passed Mick down the straight on the last lap, at the next corner he over braked and spun and Mick took position one back and had a good easy run to the finish line in first place.
The grandstand was cheering as the race was close and there was some exciting action going on the whole time.
Tomorrow he will start on pole position which is unbelievable seeings that he was at the rear of the grid for the first race.
You rock Mick - best of luck tomorrow....
See you at the track tomorrow hopefully for the same action that we saw today.
:fantastic:
Cheers Yvette

Well what a brilliant day, being the first Masters that Marion and I have attended, it certainly won't be the last. Apart from the wind, the weather was great. Unfortunatly things didn't go overly well for Mick, but the drive he put on in his second event was to say the least, FANTASTIC, coming in seventh from a twenty fifth place start. You made the day for us Mick and it's a shame you have decided to retire from the racing game.
:fantastic:
-
Well done Mick you really are a great driver to achieve the result you did in the last race :way:
:seeya: Garry :hangloose:

Thank you to all the members who supported Mick today, hope you all had a good time.
Race 1 - Mick had pole position and lead for the first couple of laps with the Camaro of Stubber passing him and taking the win with Mick in Second.
Race 2 - Well about 1 hour before the race Mick was called upto the stewards office (a place he is familiar with) regarding an incident during race 1 with the Red Falcon which was next to him on the grid, as they approached corner one of the start the Falcon was squeezing Mick onto the grass, as Mick had the line Mick stuck to his guns and keep into it and they had a bit of a rub (on the drivers door of the Falcon, so yes way past the B pillar) the Falcon went off! Word has it that another competitor (in a yellow car??) told him that he should take action that what happened was unaceptable (mind you this yellow car?? did not hesitate to go through when all this was going down. At the stewards hearing the Falcon driver told Mick that he did not care what had happened that it was a racing incident, so the charges were dropped. But, then they told Mick that he, Des Wall and the falcon driver were being penalised 60secs for jumping the start, Mick said to them well if thats the case why didn't you black flag us for a drive through penalty, the answer was we decided to keep you guys out there. So in a nut shell Mick had to start from 25th position and charged his way through the field to finish in 7th, so another top run from him.
The organiser obviously know who they want on the track as yesterdays decisions and todays show this, so they enjoy the racing as much as the spectators do!
Once again thanks to all for the support and next year Mick will probably be joining you on the hill as a spectator :zip:
Cheers Yvette
P.S. I did not have our camera this weekend so if anyone has some shots please post them on the forum.
