On a very warm and windy day, MVB contested Round 7 of the SRA Eureka Series at Heartland Speedway at Moama last night. The first qualifying heat did not start well when another car moved up the track and made contact with the V6 Action Alliance racecar. With a bent front end MVB had no option but to circulate slowly and finish almost last.

The next heat was incident free and MVB managed a 2nd place finish. Unfortunately this still didn't gain the team enough points to make the all important Top 6 Time trial.

From a starting position of 10 in the A-main, MVB kept his nose clean on a very rough race track which caught out several other competitors, and finished the race in 9th place.

MVB conceded after the A-main event: "That was one of the most physically demanding and difficult race tracks I have ever raced on. I just knew if we pushed any harder there was a high chance we would end up with a wrecked race car, which is not part of our game plan."

Even though MVB has performed well below his best in the last couple of SRA Eureka series races, he is still confident he can turn the corner and post some decent results in the next few races. Although he has now slipped down to 3rd on the overall points chase, there are still plenty more races left to bridge the gap.

MVB's next race is at Avalon for the Presidents cup this Wednesday night, and then team MVB will enjoy a mid season break until the next SRA Eureka Series round at Hamilton on 27th Feb.
