Nathan Macdonald went out to Charlton Raceway on Friday night, to take his VS Commodore for it's first run this season.  After only 5 laps, Macdonald had to shut the engine down after flames engulfed in and around the engine.  After lifting the bonnet it was found oil had leaked out of the tappet cover gasket and caught on fire after leaking onto the exhaust.  A quick change of leads and a new gasket solved the problem, Nathan going out on the track again to get some more laps in the car.  The Mac1 Designs commodore punching out some decent laps around the clay circuit.  After several runs, it seems all the first race glitches are gone, hopefully!  In a fortnight's time it will be off to Yandina Speedway for the City of Brisbane Title.
