Festival of Power Friday 19th to Sunday 21st
April 2019
Paul had intended to have this season off from racing but
having won the championship last year he is entitled to free entry
this season and also to run number 1 on his car. It would have been rude not to race
and boy would we have been mad if he hadn’t. The weather was so fabulous, the
first time at Easter for many years that we would have been sick at missing this event when we’ve spent so much time in the past sitting in the
trailer for hours on end!
Test day on Thursday with interesting. Paul laid down some
good runs but also suffered a total brake failure resulting in him being towed
out of the field. Luckily there wasn’t any damage to him or the car and the
brakes were easily fixed. Qualifying went pretty much to plan with him
finishing 2nd out of 27. Some excellent racing on eliminations saw
him through to the finals but he was overcome by Ben Newsome leaving Paul still
awaiting a Pro ET event win, the only trophy available to him that he has yet
to win. National Championships, tick. SPRC and APIRA championships, tick.
Number one qualifier, tick. Perfect light and perfect ET, Super Comp event
wins, tick. Oh well you always need something to aim for.
