Dale's first race in the NZV8s championship didn't start well this afternoon with fuel pump issues leaving him stalled off the start line. So he had to fight his way from the back of the pack (28th) to come in to finish at 14th place. But he drove really well, working through the pack, making passing look easy. It was great to watch.
He dropped a couple of positions in the last couple of laps too, with a broken sway-bar, but he managed to hang on and finish the race well. Aside from that and a big of panel damage to the nose the car finished well.
There was carnage up the front with a few of the leading V8s coming off the track. It made for a great spectator race (which would have been better if it wasn't for the cold wind!).
Dale's best time was 1:38.200 (in lap 5), which was about 9th fastest overall.
Dale is up for his 2nd race is at 11:10am tomorrow morning.
