It was an unusual evening for the Farr Motorsport/EWT Auto Dismantlers teams last night with Robbie Farr posting a rare did not finish in the 30lap sprintcar A Main at the Parramatta City Raceway. Robbie after starting from 16th position was forging his way through the pack and was running in a strong seventh or eight place on lap 10. After experiencing engine problems earlier, the Avenger was looking good out on the track as Robbie was starting to dial the car into the fast PCR track. Running down the back straight the #56 Standox Paints/Central Districts/Valvoline/Truckmate Avenger broke the differential, spinning it around with a piece smashing into the back of Robbie’s race seat. Robbie stopped the car immediately and after treatment returned back to the pits OK if not alittle sore. Unfortunately after winning the opening meeting seven days earlier, last night wasn’t to be another Farr Motorsport/EWT victory with Robbie having to watch the remaining 20laps from the pit enclosure. The earlier heat races saw Robbie experiencing the minor engine troubles was still able to pick up the opening ten lap heat and after coming from position 10 in heat four, the “Action Man” moved up four positions to finish with a good sixth placing. Robbie stated after the meeting “We had abit of motor trouble early but got it sorted out for the main. But in the main, we broke the diff, it spun around and smashed into the back of the seat. It wacked me on the bottom of my back, but it will be alright, its just alot of bruising. We were alittle tight but as the track was going away the car was getting better. We would have been OK, we were moving forward.” This Saturday night, Robbie returns to the Parramatta City Raceway for round 3 of the prestigious Driver to the World of Outlaws Premiership series. |
