Kyle would start his heat race from 7th, but had to retire with an electrical problem. Heat 2 and Brett started 7th and crossed the finish line 8th. Kyle missed his second heat due to sorting the electrical miss fire in the engine. Unfortunately Kyle's night would be over. Brett however would start the main event from p13. With a fast race track, the set up on the V68 was close but not quite right and Brett would cross the line 14th.
"It wasn't a good night and it wasn't a bad night. I had a good run tonight, but just missed the set up for the feature race. To make the A main with such a star studded field is always good. Unfortunately Kyle had a rough start with his roll over and then electrical problems with the engine. From the few laps I did see him do, I can't wait to see what he can do in a 30 lap main event. We will do our maintenance tomorrow and get Kyle ready for the Kings Challenge at Borderline Speedway on Friday night. I'm going to sit Friday out and work with Kyle to try help him get his first Aussie victory. Cheers" Said Brett |
