Race one: Kerry took the jump on the field the 24c car soon took over that pretty fast. The 22i car on it’s first night out had teething problem and lost the go peddle due to the cable coming off. Only to have the 55i car up his ass, race one was a good close race.
Race two: this is the race that all were talking about, and why you should never feed your car redbull.
Mark took the lead straight away with 55i coming into first turn in second, 73d, 18d, 48d and 11d had a train going right to turn two when 73d and 18 d came unstuck from the pack. 73d came to grips with things and court up with the 55i car on turn 4 and took the 55i car right off the end of the straight and in to the wall on turn one. The 55i car was riding the wall on his side and came to rest coming out of turn two. Both cars having major damage with the 73d car with half his body gone and a damage to the roll cage, the 55i car was dragged off with 4 broken legs.
