Hi all,

Yet another great day of racing in the sunshine at Mt Wgtn. Our good fortune with the weather over the past couple of seasons continues and two lap records were set this weekend!

Congratulations to Dave Manuel for his 28.913-second lap record in F4 race 1! And in race 2, Dave put some serious pressure on Nathanael Diprose and came away with the win. It was Nathanael's first loss (in either F4 or F5) and first crash in a points race this season.

Congratulations also to Rick Ford and Henk Zeeven for lowering their own sidecar lap record to 34.522 seconds. They were chased all the way by Dean and Erica which undoubtedly gave them the necessary hurry up. It was great sidecar action for the spectators.

Holy crap look at the pace of A grade! Congrats Dave, that's a stupid lap time right there.

You're telling me, I ran sub 31s clockwise for the first time ever I think, good enough for fifth and sixth

Sounds like a very fast day!

We (Well, OK Glen, Fishy and Scott) were running on record pace all day too, although that's a bit more of a guess without transponders.

Well done Dave!
