Round 3 - Ruapuna - Race 2

A cooler day today, with more cloud about and a bit of wind, the track
here at Ruapuna isn't quite as fierce.

Dale finished race 2 in 9th place after an awesome start, and a really
solid drive. A moment of distraction saw Eddie Bell get past Dale
when he took a corner wide, but that was the only moment anyone came
near after the start. Dale held his position for the remainder of the
race, and put in some good lap times, faster towards the end.

Dale lost a wing-mirror in a clash on one of the first corners of the
race, but it was recovered by a friendly race official and reattached
before lunch ;-)

Dale's fastest lap was 1:31.683 In lap 6. Dale's final time was
17.139s off 1st place.

So it's a few hours wait now, before the third and final race of the
weekend, the 20 lap reverse-grid race.
