Second outright was Alan McConnell with a time of 38.54 and third outright was Warwick Hutchinson with a time of 38.60 sec.

It was also great to see Ron Hay’s Synergy-Dallara 2.4 Lt V8 open wheeler Crack the very exclusive under 40 second Club with a time of 39.75 sec. The car is a credit to Ron’s hard work in the shed and his attention to detail it is all paying off.
