Shorties RC 2019: 11-12 Symmons Plains

The iconic Australian short track certainly offered up some intense racing and even more astounding wrecks.  Winners and losers alike down the order.  Race 1 saw Zolecki take a dominating win, nearly lapping the whole field while he DNFed in Race 2 at no fault of his own.  Hamilton seemed to have a mix of pit road woes and potential technical issues in that race.  And from the start, The Egg was challenged first by Smith until he spun and then Webster until he was taken out very close to the end.  But he held off all advances and pulled a win, closing the gap in the top 3 points.

We now move on to Baskerville, another great Aussie touring track before jumping to Quebec to finish out the first half of the season.
