New guest driver for Macdonald Racing
Monday January 31, 2011

This Saturday Night 5th February at Charlton Raceway will see a guest appearance by a driver filling in for Shane.  Nathan and Shane's father, Lindsay Macdonald will be strapping into the #27 car of Shane's, which is ironically the number Lindsay raced with since starting his speedway career in 1980. 

After taking Shane's car for a practice run a few weeks ago, Lindsay couldn't refuse when offered to race Shane's car this coming weekend.  After dialling in some decent laps last time out, Lindsay will be looking to go even better after a few modifications have been done to the car to make it more comfortable.

After officially retiring in the year 2000, Lindsay stepped out of the car which was at the time a VL commodore powered by a Holden V8 253CI engine, and handing it over to his son Shane.  Now, 11 years later he steps back into a VS Commodore powered by a 3.8L V6.

Although having been out of the seat for 11 years, don't discount Lindsay for a top 10 result, or what would put a bigger smile on his dial, beating his son Nathan home across the line.  Although Lindsay has set his own goals for the weekend saying "As long as I don't finish last in my heats I'll be happy!"

Racing is starting from 3.30pm due to large numbers nominated, so make sure you get there early and come down and say hello as we have plenty of stickers and posters to give away!
