behind win! |
Monday
May 7, 2007
The "things with wings" ventured to Kingaroy Speedway on Sunday night (6th

fast and by far the standout racing class of the night. Nathan Macdonald
was to start from pole position in the 15 lap final, but was given the
opportunity to start at the rear of the field by the track promoter, and if he
come through to take the win, would pocket an extra $100. Macdonald took
up the challenge and managed to pull it off, making his way into the lead on the
final lap, in what was a race that had the very appreciative crowd all on their
feet. |
