2018/2019 Victorian sprintcar champ is...

Same old, same old..

From green to chequer is was our own two time Australian champion David Murcott who recently returned from a holiday drive in the US, Murky to his friends, lead all the way after earning himself a pole start from a good run in the preliminary's. While some of the heats may have seen some good racing the A-Main certainly looked a bit of a yawn fest.
Murky, Jamie Veal (the real deal) and Linesy (Steven Lines) rolled around for the thirty laps as they started. After a fourth place start our own James McFadden (J-Mac) went backwards and lost a couple of spots in the early laps never to recover. After dropping to eighth made a dieing moments lunge on Grant Anderson (Ando) to finish in seventh. Fans were queing back at the transporter wanting a refund on their t-shirts. Having said that, James is around for the whole season running once again for Luch Monte in the WA #17 car and no doubt 'the boys' will get the thing cooking when it's time to get serious.

Congrats to our Murky. Premier is a track favouring a pole position start when you have speed but it's still not easy when you have a few thousand horses pounding the dirt right behind you. And as a matter of interest, David's fastest lap in the A-Main was 11.221 sec's at 141.164 kph.

Note: You may be wondering why I call David and James 'our own'. Well they aren't exactly our own but we made a post on David back in 2010/11 Murkry's blog and we followed James all through the  World series Sprintcars series of 2011/12 Following J-Mac
