Got my first top fives in Australia!
Wendy’s Words – Well I finally got my first win!!!!! I won the first heat race by about a straight
away, so that was a great feeling. I felt so comfortable out there I could hardly believe it. I was
able to get the jump on the start and lead all ten laps. The track was still fairly wet and good at
that point, but the track went away really bad for the feature. It slicked over big time, but did not
take any rubber, so there was no grip whatsoever. I started third in the A Main and ran most of
the race there until I got punted in turn three. That really irritated me, but as they say in Formula
One, I got a bit of the “red mist” in my eyes and ended up working my way back up to 5th. So that
was my first top 5 in a feature! We keep getting better and better each time out, it’s such a great
feeling. I am really hoping to keep my sting alive of improving my finish each time out and be able
to get a top 3 or better for the next race.

Dubbo – Night #2
We were short handed tonight – just me and Jay. But hard work doesn’t scare me so we just got on with the job at hand. The heat race went pretty good and I came home third. Not as good as last night, but the car still felt good, so no worries there. We lined up for the feature and the track was looking good, so I was really excited. So remember how I said I wanted to keep improving my finishing spot? I should have won it but I waited too long to get around someone and got passed. I was soooooooo close to picking up my first dirt feature win. I probably could have really forced the issue, but I didn’t want to tear up any stuff. And at the end of the day, second place against all of these guys that do this full time down here in Australia? I’ll take it!
Race on.
Wendy
