Qld Super Sprints Round 4

Morgan Park Queensland Super Sprint Series Round 4

By Joe Arico.

For the final time in 2021 the Super Sprint gang descended on Warwick for what was another great weekend. Always as much fun off the track as it is on, it was an absolute blast with a truly great bunch of people. Very much my happy place! My entry for 2022 is well and truly in!

We had a few no shows this round for various reasons, but most of the usual suspects were there. Not surprisingly Lotus did very well, with Elises and Exiges dominating the podium.

Big congratulations to George Row for achieving a points tally that put him in 3rd overall for the year – consistency pays off!

The award for sheer tenacity goes to Andrew Row and Bride Moran. I lost count of the number of issues they ran into with their Dominator race car over the weekend, but they never gave up and kept the car going.

Bride is now known as speedy. She was so pleased with her PB in run 5, but then proceeded to better it by some 4 seconds on her last run! Well done Bride. And well done Andrew for showing some genuine ingenuity to keep the car going. I’m not sure I could have done the same.

There was only minor drama over the weekend – a Subaru decided to destroy its turbo on Sunday morning and dumped oil over the back of the circuit on the racing line. It was the run before all the Lotus went out so thanks for that Mr. WRX. We all came through unscathed though so that’s the main thing.

Garry had what we thought was a CV joint issue but to his delight it ended up being a loose wheel spacer which was easily fixed.

On a personal note I had a trouble free weekend and managed a PB, so very happy with that.
