Greds Wins First .... EVER
(Story will update)
BATHURST, New South Wales, Australia (PSS) -- Gary Redshaw picked up his first PORRS win ever by beating the field at the Mount Panorama circuit here Sunday... or Monday (Aussie time).
Redshaw, driving a P2 Spyder, topped Paul Hamilton by 8.364 seconds on the winding 3.86-mile course.
Hamilton, racing in P1, finished 28 seconds ahead of third-place Tom Nasella, also a P1 driver. Greg Haley finished fourth and James Bowders fifth.
Early leader Dave Slee, who posted the fast lap of the race with a 1:51.987, ran out of fuel on the last lap and wound up seventh.
"I didn't take enough fuel on the first stint,'' Slee said. "I was one gallon short and ran out on the last lap.''
The race was marred by a first-lap incident involving several cars at the rear of the field. Officials were still trying to determine what happened late Sunday (or Monday). No one was injured although several cars were heavily damaged.
