Round 3 - Ruapuna - Race 1

Dale finished the first race here at Ruapuna this weekend in 11th
place after working his way through the pack from 18th off the grid.

There was plenty of action out there on the track today (as always!),
but it was a hot track today too, 112 degrees on the surface! A few
incidents in front and to the side of Dale left the car in a bit of a
mess, but nothing too serious, thankfully. Dale lost a few spots and
had to work to get them back when a crash ahead forced him to slow to
go around.

Dale did a great job out there today, and the team is happy with the
result. If qualifying had gone a bit better, then maybe we'd be inside
the top 10, but just outside it in a field of 25 is a good result none
the less.

I'll update this a little later too, with more details, as they come in.
