Race 1: Albert Park, Melbourne
Report by Douglas Thornton-Smythe of the Nixontown Times & Guardian
It was a fine old Sunday afternoon in Melbourne when the CricketWeb Racing Series kicked off its first ever season, on foreign soil it has to be said. Attendance was not as strong as originally anticipated, Victorians too interested in the Footy I suppose. However, those who did turn up were very enthusiastic.
The race itself was a fine one, won by Heath Davis for Ford. Davis started at Number 7, but rocketed through the field and took the lead shortly before the end of the first lap. Despite all the efforts of Aloysius Carmody, who ran him rather close in the later parts of the race, Davis' mastery of the wheel was unmatched that day. Desmond Major finished third, taking the last place on the podium. Yesterday's polesitter Tony Harem only finished 9th, seemingly unable to to convert his brilliant form from the rainy qualifying to the dry race conditions.
As you can tell, I got lazy in the middle of writing this. If anyone wants flex his journalistic muscles get in touch.
