Round 5 - Timaru - Qualifying

It's a bit damp and cool down here in Timaru this morning. No rain though, but we're still wrapped up in our Jackets.

Dale had an OK qualifying run, coming in 8th overall, 3rd in his class. There's not much in the times though. Dales best time: 1:13.262 in lap 6, behind Michael Modgill's Integra (1:12.999) and Steve Taylor's Civic (1:12.591).

We're taking it easy in the new Mazda corporate tents (very flash!) while the crew work on the car. We've got a few hours before Race 1 at 2:15pm. With any luck the weather will make its mind up and change for the better, or really rain (we're still looking forward to a good wet race).

This little character (very talkative) came to check out Dale's car and kept the team busy explaining all the details. An up & coming racing driver I'm sure :-)
