| Another successful night for Robbie Farr at Parramatta | ||||

Robbie Farr was again one of the stand out performers last night at Sydney’s Parramatta City Raceway. Robbie’s EWT Auto Dismantlers/Robbie Farr Motorsports Avenger led the prestigious Valvoline Australia Sprintcar Grand Prix for a number of laps before being caught out lapping a couple of cars which allowed Kerry Madsen to blast past and take the lead and the race victory. The highlight for Robbie last night was the four two lap match race series with Robbie being pitted against 16 times World of Outlaws Champ Steve Kinser and local stars Troy Little and Kerry Madsen. The “Action Man’s” #56 Standox Paints Avenger took out the series victory with two wins and a pair of second placings defeating Steve Kinser in the process. Robbie was also successful in the earlier 10 lap heat races after starting from position eight in heat two, he brilliant forged his way into fifth at the checker while heat six saw Robbie winning the race after coming from position five. Starting alongside Steve Kinser in position 13 for the 30 lap Sprintcar GP, Robbie as usual was quickly on the gas and moved up into the lead. He held the number one position for a number of laps before Madsen forged past. Robbie held his ground and scored a good second placing in the prestigious Boxing Night Parramatta AGP A Main. “It wasn’t too bad. Same as the other week after I went the wrong way in traffic. Kerry is good on that sort of track and he took the full advantage of that. We are happy with the car. It car was loose from the start, everyone was, it was that slick! I think the car was good enough (to win) but we just didn’t do the right thing at the right time. For a couple of laps around mid race, I was sloppy in lapped traffic and I paid for it. I didn’t have any worries early in the night, it was pretty non eventful. Winning the match race series was good against the King. A bit of wheel banging but it was fine close racing. And that was good.” Robbie will be debuting his brand new Avenger sprintcar this Saturday night (Dec 29th) at the Parramatta City Raceway. |
