Macdonald makes it 4 in a row! |
|
Posted: 23/11/03
Macdonald Racing Team along with Rodney Pammenter, travelled up
to Bundaberg to race with the East Coast A Grade. A track with
long straights, provided the cars with tremendous speed. East
Coast A Grade were allowed hot laps, to get a feel of the track
and ensure their cars are working properly. The first race
produced a tacky track, which provided for some good racing. |
