Pukekohe: Jon Waring's Report

What a great weekend of racing we had at Pukekohe, fine weather and very close racing with only one accident ,Phil Jones while running in the GTNZ race got hit by a Nissan Skyline while being lapped with major damage to front RH area.

Results of the races / NZ MotorSport points for the weekend was as follows:-

Conal Dempsey in his C2 RS now fitted with a 993 TT engine ~408bhp instead of the "Cup" 304BHP, won this Round 5 with 204 points from 2 wins and a 5th in the handicap second race.

Brian McGovern was second overall in his modified 944 Turbo S winning the Handicap Race 2 from a 20second handicap over 8 laps. He had a 4th ,1st and 3rd place for 189points.

3rd for the weekend was Dean Cockerton driving Steve Neville's Carrera 3.8RS in the Open class. With a 3rd. 6th and 2nd placing for 172points.

Ian Hyar in his International MotorSport supported GT3RS was 4th overall with 162points. A 2nd in the first race and 2nd in the Handicap race from the back of the field on a 25 second handicap was great driving ,but following a brilliant start in race 3 to lead Conal for at least 6 laps a clutch problem slowed him to finish 12th, instead of the 1st place that had looked likely to achieve.

The FTD was set by Ian Hyar in Qualifying at 1.05.051.in his GT3RS
