Back to one of our favourite tracks this season, and no-one called the law this time. It's a good, long road with a terrific gradient and some great curves ending at a bridge that has a troll living under it.
You can't see the troll, but she's down there.
Despite being jammed in the centre of the starting grid,
Kymbo methodically overtook everything and blasted into first place. Cameras are too slow to catch it. Lucky for him,
Quicksilver didn't race this month.
A shiny new yellow paint job and straight into the lead for
Chariot of the Dogs. It was soon hunted down by the heavier
supercarts. Looks cool but.
Obsession flies straight and true, overtaking
Inspiration with it's sights firmly set on
Bootylicious and
Ton O' Fun to second place.
Inspiration is the sister cart to
Obsession, but 67 times its size. It's bigger than the real car used to transport
Chariot of the Dogs. However, it seems to handle and go brilliantly in the skillful hands of its pilot.
That bridge is narrow, and
Inspiration is massive! Deft driving by the ladies meant impressive footage but no incident.
Pink as ever,
Bootylicious had a great race and was just pipped for fifth in a very tight finish.
The Force debuted at this track the first time we ran it, so is fully aware of its nuances. Nothing fell off it this time, which is always a good sign.
This is where
Old 47 usually hangs out. Like a 747 in an aircraft hanger.
And this was it on the track. It missed the previous race even though it was there, when it blew a tyre while still on its trailer. No such problems this time though, although seventh is a bit further back than it's used to.
Some good
maneuvering got
Enterprise out of a tricky grid position and into some open space to run a strong race to get a top four finish. Those big rear vision mirrors were certainly full...
...mostly of
Death Machine. This track suits
DM and a top five finish off the front row of the grid was a certainty.
This didn't fool anybody.
Ton O' Fun was back after a break and ready for business. From the last row on the grid it stormed into an impressive third place, leading a tight pack of four behind the first two.
This track is in a remote, heavily forested area notorious for
drop bears. Unfortunately one of these fearsome creatures performed its signature attack from a mighty
eucalypt over-hanging the road, right in front of
Dogmatic and
Flash.
Flash crashed as a result (nothing to do with the swinging front axle) and it was only the quick thinking of
Dogmatic's pilot headbutting the terrifying beast as he went past and scaring it back into the dense bushland that saved both their lives. Unfortunately, this tricky manoeuvre cost valuable speed and is the reason for
Dogmatic's uncharacteristic low placing.
