Hello Everyone,
Dodgie has asked me to let you know that he has had a heart attack this afternoon but he said he is ok & recovering well.
Obviously there will be no racing at Dodge Valley Motorplex tomorrow night.
I will provide more updates once I know more.
Cheers,
Guru.

Race Wrap - 14.08.26
Apologies for the late Wrap this week.
Dodge Valley Motorplex had 8 racers on hand last Friday night ready to face the weekly 3 event challenge that this week included Pioneer Legends, RevoSlot GT & Open Trans-am.
Pioneer Legends got the racing underway on Hellcat Pass & saw Guru, Dodgie, Bazza & Professor all feature on heat winners list with Brett & Bruce both taking a pair of 2nd place finishes.
Bruce's car was quick but an intermittent power connection issue would rob him of an chance of an overall podium position but I think it's only a matter of time.
Dodgie was in form taking a clean sweep of race wins to take the overall win, finishing just under 3 laps ahead of Guru who had 1 heat win & 2 second place finishes while Professor took the final podium position with 2 wins & a second.
Brett had another strong result to finish best of the rest only 0.75 of a lap off tge the podium & led Bazza, Woodstock, Alby & Bruce to the chequered flag.
Next on track was RevoSlot GT on The Duster which looked to be a head to head battle between Guru & Professor for the outright win with both taking heat wins along with Woodstock, Brett & Alby.
Guru finished top of the pops with 3 heat wins & a second, just 0.57 of a lap ahead of Professor with 2 heat wins & 2 second place finishes.
Brett went one better to take the final podium spot just over a lap behind Professor with 1 heat win & 2 seconds.
Alby just missed out on the podium finishing just 0.38 of a lap behind Brett & was chased to the finish by Woodstock, Bazza, Dodgie & Bruce.
The night's racing concluded with Open Trans-am on The Duster & this time it was a 3 way dust up between Woodstock, Bazza & Professor who all registered heat wins along with Guru.
Woodstock was too strong finishing with 3 heat wins, a 2nd & a 6.8s fastest lap to take a well deserved outright victory with his self designed & built Charger.
Guru finished runners up overall & headed a trio of Mustangs with 1 heat win & 3 second place finishes while Bazza took 2 heat wins & a second to finish 3rd overall.
Professor was next best with 2 heat wins & 2 seconds while Bruce put in a great performance with his Comaro to secure a top 5 result.
He was followed by Alby, Dodgie & Brett.
Obviously there was no racing tonight so we will reconvene next Friday night to race the same categories all over again.
Hope to see you all there.
