“We arrived at the track on Friday with the weather not in good shape, with the track looking great but very wet after heavy rain, so practice was not possible, with Saturday qualifying looking better.

With Saturday having two rounds of practice, and then three rounds of qualifying, with two rounds to count, Elliott was able to TQ two rounds of the three giving him overall TQ, he choose to use the X4 Blockade which worked very well, setting fastest laps by over a Second from all other drivers, with track quite muddy, but they worked really good.

On the Sunday the weather was looking bad, we arrived at the track, with heavy rain, we had our semi to run, luckily the rain stopped so we were able to run our semi, but very muddy Elliott was able to win his semi, which put him on pole for the main A-main which was to run later in the day.

Unfortunately, the rain returned, with a very heavy spell, which completely flooded the track, so after a meeting many drivers decided not to run, it was very bad, so we decided to not to run to protect our equipment, so it was an end to the weekend which was a great shame on a great track, I did hear some drivers did carry on in the mud.”
