Nathan Macdonald scored another emphatic win at Lismore Speedway Saturday night, to make it his first feature win at the track.

Heat 1 was merely a one lane track.  Nathan started out of pole position with Peter Rodgers on the outside.  Nathan managed to jump straight to the lead, hugging the pole line to get some good drive down low.  Macdonald opened up a good lead over Rodgers.  After coming upon lapped traffic, Nathan was still able to hold onto his lead and take the heat win.  Peter Rodgers come in for 2nd and Travis Hollyman finished 3rd after starting from rear of field.

Heat 2 was a reverse grid of the first heat.  With Nathan starting from the rear in this heat, he knew he would have to do well to get a good qualifying position.  With a combined night of A Grade and some Lismore sedans, there were about 13 cars in total for the night.  Nathan had moved past 2 or 3 cars, when there was a bingle ahead up the front straight, Macdonald had no where to go and ran into the back of another car.  No damage was sustained and Nathan could keep racing.  It was a complete restart.  This time Macdonald advanced into 6th place behind Shane Hollyman.  Nathan found a line around the outside of Hollyman into 5th, only to throw it away after running wide up the front straight on the last lap, allowing Hollyman back into 5th.

For the feature Nathan had enough points to put his commodore on the outside front row.  Travis Hollyman was the man on pole, with Peter Gray starting from 3rd and Shane Hollyman 4th.  Travis Hollyman got a better start as the greens flashed, but Macdonald kept on the outside around turn 1 and had enough speed to slip into 1st place.  Nathan found the track to be very hooky after the track grade, which really suited his V8 Commodore.  Macdonald extended his lead out to 1/4lap.  Travis Hollyman was running 2nd until he had a flat right hand rear tyre.  This paved a way for Peter Gray to come through into 2nd, with Shane Hollyman in hot pursuit.  Over the 15 lap feature there was a stoppage with 6 laps to go after Peter Rodgers had been spun around by a Lismore car.  The race got underway again, as Macdonald now had a clear path ahead, and opened up a handy lead to not be challenged over the final few laps.  Peter Gray finished in 2nd and Shane Hollyman 3rd.

A very rewarding result considering our misfortune last time down here! 

Nathan's next race is Yandina on the 15th April, then Charlton on the 16th April.
