Going into the Final SSCAR round in Wellington I was sitting 2nd overall on points, quite close with 3rd Graeme Strong and Grant Flynn in 4th. Shane McIntyre had a bit of a jump on the rest of us in 1st place, but not an unassailable lead, especially if he DNF'ed a heat, which is exactly what happened in the first race of the night with Shane getting a flat tyre.

I had finished 3rd in the first heat which all of a sudden opened up the top 3 places in the series to any of four drivers. My second heat was a little disappointing after an early race incident saw me forced infield, rejoining in last position I made a few spots to finish 10th from a grid 13 start. I qualified 6th for the feature and needed a top 2 placing and depending on where Shane McIntyre or Grant Flynn finished could have finished in the top 2 for the series overall.

Unfortunately this was not to be, with a spin by Donald Gregory mid race caused a pile up leaving 5 cars including myself parked on the infield. Gutting, but least we managed to keep 3rd overall for the series.

This was an awesome experience racing this SSCAR series around the North Island, a great bunch of guys, great racing, great format, great hospitality, we had a really neat time and hopefully we will be invited back next season.
