Failures plague Macdonald's chances at BIS
Monday October 9, 2006

Nathan Macdonald made the journey back to Brisbane International Speedway to race with East Coast A Grade after some time away from the venue. 

Heat 1 saw Macdonald start out of position 3.  Nathan moved into second place until Paul Ledgerwood made a move past Macdonald after developing a push through the turn.  Martin Cross finished in first place, followed by Paul Ledgerwood and Nathan Macdonald.

Macdonald started from the rear in heat 2.  As the field rolled around to get the green flag, there was confusion as some cars took off and others didn't, Macdonald ran up the back of Paul Ledgerwood which left a sour note in Macdonald's car as a spark plug lead had come off the engine from the impact.  Nathan rolled around finishing last as it left the car seriously underpowered.  Martin Cross won the heat with Terry Medcalf finishing 2nd and Pete Rogers 3rd.

Nathan started from 3rd in heat 2, and after a collision between Chris Duffel and Shane Hollyman, a restart was brought on and Nathan started from pole this time round.  Nathan cleared out taking the heat win with Peter Rogers coming in for 2nd and Terry Medcalf 3rd.

Macdonald drew for 2nd place for the feature between Terry Medcalf and Paul Ledgerwood.  After drawing out of a hat Medcalf was to start out of position 2, with Martin Cross on pole, Nathan Macdonald out of 3 and Paul Ledgerwood 4.
