A very long weekend was had by all, especially after trekking north up to Mackay to contest the Australian Outlaw Title.  The Friday night race was cancelled due to excessive rainfall.  The decision was made to leave early Saturday morning to try and make it back in time to contest the East Coast A Grade race at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast that night.  Not long after we had left, we received a phone call to say the Outlaw Title is postponed to the 4th of March 2006.  Both nights were rained out.

Shane Hollyman and Nathan Macdonald made it to the track about 20 minutes before our first race, Peter Rodgers arrived later and missed the first heat.

The weather was clear, and as we hadn't nominated for the event at Yandina, we were forced to start at the rear of field.

Heat 1 saw Nathan Macdonald struggle early in the race, but pulled through from position 6 into 3rd place.  A 4-way battle for the lead was on between Martin Cross, Pat Dennis, Travis Hollyman & Nathan Macdonald, with the lead swapping on several occasions.  Pat Dennis eventuated into 1st place, while Nathan made a last corner manoeuvre into 2nd place around the outside of Martin Cross.  Shane Hollyman suffered an engine misfire halfway through the race, pulling onto the infield, while Travis Hollyman pulled out after losing engine oil.  1st-Pat Dennis  2nd-Nathan Macdonald  3rd-Martin Cross 

The second heat saw Martin Cross & Pat Dennis off the front row.  Cross got the better start, with Dennis sliding into 2nd, with Macdonald coming through into 3rd spot.  After a restart as one car had spun out, the field bunched up with Peter Rodgers sitting in 4th.  Nathan Macdonald tried several moves on the outside of Pat Dennis, and looked to have the goods, but in turn 3 & 4, that concrete barrier sucked him in, Macdonald hitting the wall with the tail of the car, losing ground.  Martin Cross took the heat win from Pat Dennis, Nathan Macdonald, Peter Rodgers & Rob Bennet.  Shane Hollyman had a DNF after running into oil pressure problems.  1st-Martin Cross  2nd-Pat Dennis 3rd-Nathan Macdonald 

An extra heat was added as the meeting was running ahead of schedule, with Nathan Macdonald & Peter Rodgers still having to start from the rear of field.  Travis Hollyman started from pole position beside Pat Dennis.  The track had been watered before the race, making for an interesting race.  Nathan Macdonald started from position 4 as some cars had pulled out.  The race start was put on suddenly, with most drivers not ready for the green lights to come on, including Macdonald.  Nathan still had an excellent run on the outside as the pole line was wet and slippery.  Martin Cross led the race with Macdonald in 2nd, only to see Macdonald run wide in turn 3, letting Pat Dennis past.  Travis Hollyman come into second place, by running down low on the pole line, only to lose positions after spinning on the slippery pole line.  Macdonald then picked up the pace to pull through into 2nd place behind Pat Dennis, Macdonald making a gusty move around the outside of Pat Dennis for the lead.  The #32 Holden Commodore taking the heat 3 win.  1st-Nathan Macdonald  2nd-Pat Dennis 3rd-Martin Cross

Macdonald had enough points to qualify on the outside front row for the feature, beside Pat Dennis.  Martin Cross started from position 3, followed by Travis Hollyman, Rob Bennet & Peter Rodgers.  Macdonald raced into 1st place, only to see the yellows come on after Martin Cross & Travis Hollyman come together in turn 1.  The race was restarted, with Macdonald again getting the lead on the first lap.  Nathan never looked back opening an extensive lead over the field, as Pat Dennis had to pull out, after coming in contact with wall, bending his steering.  Martin Cross was running 4th when he collected Travis Hollyman as Hollyman spun out.  Cross pulled out with a broken steering arm.  Hollyman was sent to the rear of field, this left Peter Rodgers in second place and Rob Bennet in 3rd.  Macdonald kept the foot down over the 15 lap feature, saying "it''s the best the cars been all season, everything was running perfect". 

Nathan took the feature win as a consolation, after being exhausted by traveling over 24hrs all up going to Mackay & back.  Peter Rodgers was pleased with his second placing, as this is the first time to hit the track this season with his new motor and new paint scheme.  Rob Bennet finished 3rd with Travis Hollyman 4th.  1st-Nathan Macdonald  2nd-Peter Rodgers 3rd-Rob Bennet
