Jonti Austin Racing

Congratulations also to the winners of the Easter colouring in comp

Same old same old for us. Still no power and the only positive is we have found a definite problem just hoping that’s been the root of all our issues and we can start fresh next season

Our focus shifts to winter sports now and we’ll have a good wrap up on here at some point in the near future

Thanks again to our amazing sponsors this season we can’t do it without your support

Bad night in the office when the car is loaded up before the last heat has gone out. We had a great setup under us for the first heat getting the better of the 2nz through the traffic and really enjoying the challenge of trying to stay ahead but after a yellow light we had no go forward and that was pretty much our night over from then

We tried to get back out for the second heat but after a few laps same problem so back to the grass

We’ll keep searching for the issue and be back for Easter Sunday

Huge thanks to our sponsors continued support

Ready for the South Island title tonight 5pm start

In case you missed it Hundy’s Burger Shack - Fuel for You & The Crew are running a Easter colouring in competition and we have the pictures at our car along with the last of our stickers from last year so come help yourself.

Entries for the colouring in are to be returned by the next meeting in Nelson and are for 12 and unders

Looks like even eastern states speedway can’t bring us any luck this year

We had no chance at repeating our series win in Blenheim but we wanted to have a solid night leading into next weekend’s South Island title making sure our engine problems are gone. Good news is we think they are so thank you to everyone that helped us out with that. Bad news is we didn’t have the best night to build any confidence behind the wheel

Weather early in the day threatened to cancel the meeting so we thought the track might be a little heavy still but hot laps showed us we were very wrong spinning up on the dry track

Quick changes were made to help the car find some grip since we were up first race of the night and the car felt a little off from the start but we hung on trying to circulate unbeknownst to me driving that the left front shock had fallen apart until it got quite bad and we really dug some trenches in the clay. DNF

Heat 2 we started 4th after we threw a new shock on and a couple more tweaks but we still struggled for pace and got held up unable to pass cars at the start but managed to get up to 2nd in the end

Heat 3 we started 3rd and it felt like our best run feeling more comfortable in the car and really pushing to try chase down Kynan but on a couple occasions I was guilty of trying a bit too hard and I never even got close to catching him holding 2nd again

Heat 4 we didn’t make it out with a mix of not feeling to great health wise and feeling pretty confident our issues are fixed

Huge congrats to Dave, Mark and Graeme who took out the podium showing consistency is key and getting rewarded for all their efforts

We’ll be back on track next weekend for our biggest event of the year after not competing at any other SNZ titles it’s important we have a good showing at the South Islands at our home track in a pretty stacked field
