Practice on Friday was mixed with both dry and wet sessions, most drivers opting out of the rain to keep their utes clean and dry. I pushed a little too hard in the rain and found myself stuck in sand, which we were forever finding all weekend long! We sat in the top 5 of the time sheets throughout practice and we were positive about the weekend ahead. When we woke up Saturday morning for qualifying the rain was lingering and poured just before we went out, we quickly made changes to the car to adapt for the rain and qualified 4th, which we were stocked with! Only haven driven the ute in the rain the day before.

Race one was later that afternoon, I got a great start and launched towards the front row, by turn 2 I was in third place. I made a small mistake and as one ute took advantage of it the others freight trained by my lost momentum. I battled hard forward and back and finished 7th. Again, we made some changes overnight to find a little more speed to help us in the reverse grid for Sunday mornings race. Starting 4th again I knew exactly where to put the car to get great drive out of the start box. Lights out and we were away! exiting out of the first turn I had jumped into second place. As always, the boys didn’t give any room and we rubbed a few times I fell back to 4th place and finished where I had started.
