September 2019 themselves very well trialling their Me- cedes. As you can see from the results, there are groups that are very close in time. in the tower and all were pleased he got through the day without car problems, and he thinks he drove his personal best time. Tim drove well and only 2 seconds off his best time at the track as well. Jason has currently got the Lotus under a small repair after the recent Mt Bryant Hillclimb where he tried to make the track wider than it was (where have I heard that before,) and his son Tyler allowed him to run the MGZR and put it through its paces (under strict instruc- tions of course), and I understand it per- formed very well. John Davies an event veteran experi- enced some terrible noises off the start line in round three and limped to the pits to find he had broken the front differen- tial. Carefully he attempted the drive home but only made to the Adelaide suburbs, but luck has it that it was near a workshop he regularly uses, and the car is currently under repair. Although not completing the event, John still man- aged to gain second outright time. It was great to see Craig Steel at his first Super Sprint competing (normally a volunteer flag marshal), and he made sure he looked the part looking very pro- fessional in driving suit etc – time to get some team colours I think, and Steve Bowra returning to the track after more than a decade.
