A new year........another win
Monday January 1, 2006

Another year has gone by and Nathan has finished, and started the year off with a win at Charlton Raceway held on New Years Eve.  The track surface was the best it has ever been, and held up right up until the last race.

With only a few cars showing, Nathan started on the front row of heat 1, and got the jump on Peter Rogers into the first turn and drove on to lead the race from start to finish with Rogers not far behind.

Heat 2 Macdonald was once again off the front row.  Nathan raced into the lead in turn 1 but drifted too high as Darran Ciesolka drove underneath and into the lead.  Macdonald kept with Ciesolka but couldn't make a move and had to settle for second. 

Macdonald was off pole for the final, the track was smooth and very fast.  The car is just starting to be where it should be with the handling, as it doesn't seem to handle as good on the wetter tracks, but is a rocket come feature time when the track dries out, but a few changes and Macdonald was very happy with car after tonight. Nathan drove straight to the lead into turn 1, and never looked back as he lead from start to finish.  The car was exceptionally good on what was a very fast track.

After some work setting up a new axle arrangement, the whole car should be fast, and reliable and Nathan is looking forward to the Australian Outlaw Title in Mackay in less than a months time. 

The next race will be Charlton Raceway on the 20th January, then the following weekend at the Australian Title in Mackay.  It looks like there will around 50 cars which will be great to see and Macdonald is looking forward to the return visit.
