Mallee Madness & Victorian Drivers Series Rd3 – Report
The 3rd round of the Victorian Drivers series saw just under 150 entries travel to the Mildura club in regional Australia, 6 hours drive from Melbourne. The club members had built a brand new technical track for the event with a new clay surface. Unfortunately very heavy rain on the Friday of the event left the track very heavy for practice Saturday morning, resulting in the track becoming very bumpy and challenging racer’s driving and setup skills. The track dried out and grooved up through the event with competitors starting on pin tyres and ending up on supersoft bars or webs. With slick timekeeping and organisation, the event ran to schedule despite the wet start. In 4WD Modified the qualifying order was the same as 2WD Modified, the two junior racers pushing Ray hard.
