fell closer to Shegog by the end of the race
with Barrett and Gidney all separated by
just 4 seconds.
The final race for the weekend saw
Milligan and Howell line up together
again, Howell got the jump this time and
held second place, It didn’t take long for
Shegog to move into 4th place ahead of
Robertson as Gidney finally got past Barrett
at the end of the back straight, Kaigg got
in front of Chester with Rose, Watson and
White closing the top 10. Stephen Jones
found two spots on the opening lap ahead
of Dodd and Hope. On lap two Chester
moved past Kaigg and Watson got in
front of Rose. On lap 4 Barrett got back
past Gidney for 5th place, lap 4 saw Jones
move up to 13th place. The race settled
down as Robertson retired at turn 9 on lap
5. Rodney Gibb slowed as Alana Ondarchie
dropped down the field before retiring on
lap 7, Gibb finished albeit two laps down.
Up front Milligan took a strong win;
Howell cruised to second place while
Wood took 3rd outright. Shegog took a
solid 4th place by himself as Barrett and
Gidney faught hard to the line, Barrett
pulled a little bit of time towards the end
to give himself some breathing room while
Chester found his fuel problems again but
salvaged 7th place, Kaigg took a lonely 8th
place ahead of Watson and Rose rounding
the top 10 out. Eleventh saw Greg White
ahead of Stephen Jones, Jim Dodd, David
Hope and Rodney Gibb rounding out the
finishers.
Great weather and good track conditions
saw some excellent times, of note was
Andrew Howell’s 1:22.75 in a front wheel
drive MG ZR, this is also the fastest time
a four cylinder MG has done at Sandown
Raceway! Glen Wood’s 1:26.12 in a MG
TF Cup car was very impressive and Ross
Kaigg who beat his own personal best
by a second and also took out the Peter
Lee Memorial trophy awarded to the first
historic four cylinder MG B. The series gets
a break until we return to Sandown in July,
make sure to stop by and say hi or come
and join the BBQ lunch on Sunday.
A big thank you must go out to the series
sponsors Castrol Australia who were very
generous, Jayrow Helicopters, Hobson
Stores (for the best meal in Melbourne) and
Wolfchester Australia and a big thank you
to every one of the MG Car Club members
who contributed at Sandown whether it
was in the pits, administration, trackside or
in the tower, without you guys we couldn’t
be having so much fun!
