Robbie Farr stormed back from last weeks disappointment to take out a sensational sprintcar A Main victory last night at Sydney’s Parramatta City Raceway. Robbie was in blistering form last night finishing the night with two 1st placing and a second from the three events he contested. Coming from way back in 13th position, Robbie’s EWT/Truckmate/Standox Paints/Valvoline Avenger suffered a bent jacobs ladder after tangling up with another car on the opening lap of the 30 lap A Main race. Taking alittle longer unusual, Robbie powered up into second place on lap 15 and set off after race leader Lynton Jeffery. The pair raced wheel to wheel before Robbie’s #56 Avenger forged past to take control of the race. Unfortunately the amber caution lights came out with Robbie having to return to position 2 for the restart. This happened again a couple of laps later just as Robbie hit the front. The race now had just five laps to run and again after racing wheel to wheel with Jeffery for two laps, Robbie forged into the lead going onto to score this third PCR win out of six meetings. Not a bad record! Robbie’s opening race of the night was in the second qualifying 10 lap heat and after starting from position four, he was quickly “standing on the gas” and was battling for the lead on lap 1. Robbie didn’t take the race lead and finished with a second placing in the race. But his second heat race of the evening, Robbie wasn’t making any mistakes, coming out of position 6, the “Action Man” was setting the track alight quickly moving up into the lead, continuing onto a brilliant race victory. Robbie also set the fastest 10lap time of the night with the race taking 2m07.60sec. “We had a bit of bad luck last week that cost us the race and I thought that our luck was still out, but the last time I got by him (Jeffery) we didn’t get a yellow! It turned out good! The car was great, but a guy had a half lose on the first lap and we wacked him pretty hard which bent up the rear end. It bent the jacobs ladder but it didn’t seem to affect the car that much. It was running good in the feature.” Robbie with be back at the Parramatta City Raceway this Saturday night for the next round of the prestigious Driver to the World of Outlaws Premiership series. |
