Round 3 - Taupo - Race 2


Well it was a pretty eventful 2nd race this morning, and while it ended up another great result for Dale - 1st in his class - it was tainted a bit by more than one hit on his car by a Honda Civic. There were a few other hits on cars so the results are still tentative, pending an investigation.




There was a swamp of cars off the line, and Dale's 2nd place position on the grid was challenged on the first corner by a pile of Evo and Subarus. He managed to hold off the Civic for almost the whole race - despite being hit from behind on the S-bend and in other places - but a missed gear change let him past on one of the last laps. They tangled in the next corner, the Civic went slightly off into the dirt, and Dale swept past and held on for the win.

Dale finished 10th overall, with a fastest lap time of 1:45.672.
