Red Hot Racing

Hey everyone wow where we start it's been many years since Red Hot Racing has last raced but we're wrapped to be back with a new car a commodore and new sponsors William Lyttle Pizza on the bonnet.

Everything has just worked out the last month we decided we would give it all and try make a mid season return to Daylesford Speedway last Sunday the 9th of Feb, we had a month we managed to get the car daylighted in time, thanks to David and Casey for coming out and having a look and Pickles from Dirty Side Down Racing for the lend of a few things to get us passed until some overnight parts from Tassies Devil Raceparts came in.

We really honestly wouldn't have had any numbers on the car if it wasn't for Mint Signs last minute giving us awesome help and support getting the stickers for the car look just right for our mid season return, definitely looking forward to our fresh paint and panel in the off season.

We were all a little tired from a few late nights before on the car when it wasn't too hot so we arrived at the track a later then we would have liked so Darcy and Callum were very busy trying to get ready as quickly as possible, we missed the parade lap then we tried getting Callum a practice lap to learn how to drive manual as he had only driven auto in the backyard, we weren't geared up right for that then we missed the grid for Callum's first heat.

Streetys/ A Modified heat 1b:
We had nominated rear of field for many reasons one being it was Darcy's first race back another we didn't want to get in the way of faster cars it seemed eventually we were and had a tap in the right rear keep we kept going and managed to kind of keep up with the only other battling street stock also trying to stay out of trouble.

Juniors heat 2:
After Callum had worked out the clutch in the pits he was ready to be thrown in the deep end just like his Dad Darcy started years ago. First lap we spun out coming through turn 2 restarted and Callum did an awesome first race making good progress finnishing 6th out of 7.

Streetys/ A Modified heat 2b:
Darcy was the only street stock this race as bully had a slap with the wall in heat 1b this time i just tried to make pace and continue to get a feel of the car while still not even looking at the tyre pressures, we got around alright out there only just getting lapped by the faster mods towards the end of the race.

Juniors finals:
Callum made a great start and did really well and continued for most of the race , towards the last few laps of the race one of the faster cars was making a pass coming out of turn 2 and came down low a little to early by accident and it had made one of the bars behind the bumper pull forward and crack the bar this unsettled Callum a little and he took it easy for the rest of the race but the main thing we Finnished the race.

Streetys/ A Modified finals was cancelled as there was a crash in the standard saloons race before requiring the driver to go to hospital the driver is ok and released from hospital with some lower back pain, but has been cleared of head and neck injuries. We send our regards to the driver and their family and are glade everyone involved is ok.

I'd like to thank mez for all her help and support Callum for all his hard work and big help without him i wouldn't have gone to such efforts also Liam and chloé for their help big thanks to Dad/Pop coming out and supporting was great, hope you enjoyed being on the other side of the fence,
Again a big thanks to William Lyttle Pizza and Mint Signs.

Also a big thanks to the committee members and volunteers of Daylesford its amazing how far the speedway has came along over the years.
