Round 5 - Teretonga - Race 1

Dale had another unfortunate race result today when two cars crashed into the rear of his car early on in the first race at Teretonga, Invercargill. A wet race, where Dale has traditionally done really well, Dale had a great start but had to pit after the incident which put him at the back of the field.  Dale only completed 7 laps when he had to pit again due to engine overheating issues, which was thought to be a result of a coolant problem caused by the crash.  Although the engine is fine that was the end of Dale's race, posting his 2nd DNF result of his NZV8s career.


Dale's fastest time was 1:12.782 (in lap 4).
