The team attended the Fourth Round of the Vic State Series in Mt Buller on the weekend of 14 & 15 January 2012. Both boys decided to race this round as we were all going to be there and Thomas decided he needed to try and replenish his bank balance hopefully with some cash in U19's.
Thomas traveled down with David McMillan while the rest of the team went together. Thomas and David arrived first and found our little lodge and luckily turned the heaters on for us as the place was freezing. We settled into the lodge and the boys did some runs on Friday to see what the track was like. Not overly impressed with the race track but were happy to also be able to do a variety of runs on different tracks.
Saturday was a solid day of practice. Sunday morning was qualifying runs for both boys. Andrew wanted to gain maximum points so he went all out in qualies and finished first by 14 seconds. Thomas held back a bit and qualied in fifth place.
Afternoon race came around and the boys were pumped to go well. Final results were Andrew 1st U17's by 10 seconds in a time of 03:32,425 and Thomas coming in 2nd place U19's in a 03:31,347 (only one second between the boys). Another great Vic event over with and now looking forward to the last round.
