Round 4 - Timaru - Race 3

Some racing carnage unfortunately took it's toll on Dale and the Stabicraft Ford Falcon today, as he was caught up in a huge crash at the start of the 2nd lap of the race.  Much of the front-running cars were involved, and Dale's 14th place start had him just behind the incident.  As he slowed down to pass by the crash he was hit from behind by faster-moving traffic.  With a bent diff, leaking oil, Dale made it through most of the race, but the diff eventually ceased with only three laps to go.

That's Dale's first and only DNF for the season so far, so while it's a real shame, the team has been lucky to make it through relatively unscathed to date.  A bit of a sour end to an otherwise great weekend's racing, but Dale and all the SCG Racing team go into next weekend's 5th round in a positive state of mind, knowing that the Stabicraft Ford Falcon has the speed to keep up with the best.

Dale's fastest lap was 1:09.175 in lap 11.  He completed 17 of the 20 laps of the race.
