Hobart Miniature Car Club

The penultimate round of this series, and we saw a complete return to form by the comeback kid (Callan).  His consistent & quick driving was enough to grab the win this week & relegate the clear series leader Phil to a very tight second.  Both finished on the even 100 laps for the night, and were also very closely followed by Adrian (Bruce proxying) 1 lap down on 99. In a very good 4^th on 97 laps was a driver who has flown under the radar bit this series.  Dave Bantoft has continually driven very consistently & quickly to move himself up week by week & into a clear 4th in the series with only 1 round to go.  Three laps back in 5^th & on 94 laps was myself & this certainly ended any faint hopes I had of possibly catching DB & grabbing that 4^th spot overall. Another 1 lap down was John Batich (6^th), a result that has almost certainly seen him cement his top 3 series spot with one round to go. Tied on laps for 7^th & 8^th was Rhys & Chris M, with Rhys just winning the battle for track position on this occasion. In 9^th place on 89 laps was Dave Gray in another good drive, and rounding out the top 10, Rob Golley on 88 laps total. Dennis Murray & Chris Priest also had a close battle for 11^th on 86 laps, with Dennis edging Chris out in the end.  Thomas Males rounded out the strong (& large) field this week on 81 laps.
