| Robbie Farr Ends His Summer Campaign At Brisbane! | ||||

After wrecking a car during the Friday night qualifying heats Robbie Farr blasted back to finish last weekend’s Australian Sprintcar Open with an impressive fifth position in the A Main feature. In what was Robbie Farr’s final sprintcar meeting of the season, “the Action Man” returned to the Brisbane International Speedway for the running of the two night 2004 Australian Sprintcar Open. Racing the Titan Garages and Carports team Eagle the Australian Champ looked like he was going to continue the previous weeks great form. But things didn’t go to plan, a DNF in his first heat and while running in a good second position during his second heat of the Friday night show, Robbie rode a right rear wheel. That sent Robbie crashing into the fence damaging the frame. With the Eagle too badly damaged for a quick repair Robbie and the Titan team rushed back to the Brisbane workshop and built up another car for the following nights final. The Titan team worked extremely hard and built up another Eagle for the 2004 Australian Champ. With Robbie back in the field for the Saturday heats and final, his first race in heat 10 saw the black Q21 machine starting from position 3. Robbie was certainly not standing around as he forged his way forward and picked up the victory. Then, the “Action Man” scored his second win of the night after taking out the B Main. His Saturday night results gave the Titan Garages and Carports team 13th starting position in the A Main. With the freshly built up Eagle running in A1 condition, Robbie powered forward and finished the race and his summer campaign in fifth position. Not a bad effort after wrecking his original mount the previous night. “It started off good but in the heat I just rode over a guys right rear and crashed. The guys worked well in getting another car ready for Saturday. Everything was good for Saturday but I just started too far back in the feature.” |
