A relatively uneventful evening in Australia saw both NORL/NSRA/Star Fox/ALDI drivers Tim and Zach finish in the top 5.
Zach put it on pole for the second straight week and led the first 4 laps before giving up the lead. He would hold 2nd until losing the position on the races only round of pit stops. After running back down 2nd place with just 5 to go, the ALDI machine got sideways out of the hairpin and fortunatley had enough of an advantage over 4th to maintain a 3rd place finish.
Tim started a couple positions back and held a top 5 all day after narrowly missing a lap 1, turn 2 incident that wiped out a couple cars in front. A clean pit stop just past halfway, and enough speed to hold off a closing 6th place car in the final laps saw Tim capture a 5th place finish.
Zach: Start 1, Finish 3rd, Led 4, +49iR, +0.16 SR (4.99 A)
Tim: Start 7th, Finish 5th, +28iR, -.-- SR (4.99 A)
Next week we return stateside for a 2nd short oval of the season at the Richmond Raceway
