WATERS FASTEST IN OFFICIAL PRACTICE AT ALBANY
Official Release- Friday 7th April 2023.
Victorian Jarod Waters has tonight gone fastest in official practice ahead of this weekends 2023 SSA Modified Sedan National Title presented by The City of Albany at Albany’s Attwell Park Speedway in Western Australia.
Forty five of the forty seven competitors in the title would test themselves against the clock over thirty one sessions, with Waters setting his quickest lap of 19.166 seconds in the fourth session, also recording a 19.260 in the twelfth session.
The track started to go away, but as the sun set the moisture came back up and Queenslander Aidan Raymont was able to go second quick, recording a 19.218 second lap in the twenty second group.
Branden Fraser was third quickest with a 19.322, while Nathan Macdonald and Laurie Dowsett would round out the top five.
There were also a couple of incidents throughout the night with Kevin Ellement and Jayke Malcolm also making contact with the wall, but the biggest incident of the night was when David ‘Tangles’ Head spun in turn four, leaving defending National Champion Brock Atkins with nowhere to go and ending with both cars requiring plenty of work overnight.
Night One of racing will kick off tomorrow from 5.30 with the Grand Parade followed by three rounds of heats, while Sunday night will see the final round of heats before the all important finals.
Live coverage will again be available, with Clay-Per-View covering all the action, while Race Monitor will also be available and results posted as they happen on the SSA page.
