Report Anzac Day - Waharoa Benjamin headed of to Waharoa and was flying in his little Quarter. he was about to win his first race at Waharoa when it ended with a head on visit to the wall, on the corner before the chequered flag. Ben and 27a Hayden Guptil were battling hard when, Hayden slipped up the inside and Ben mis-calculated on Haydens right rear tyre, spearing him off to visit the tyre wall. It was a hard hit and a few broken parts and broken pride..... once the car was fixed he gladly went back on the track, but the incident did not slow him down. In the two other races, he showed good pace, and on the final race which was very close hectic racing from all drivers, ben went from grid 6 to 3rd on the first couple of laps around the outside
Report Wairaraka Park and Rosebank Road Speedway 17/18th April 2010 With the last night for TQ's, and a mixture of Bay and Auckland cars it was bound to be an exciting nights racing. It was fast, there was incidents and quite alot of blown motors. The Rentacrate team did well, but again with one DNF and a second overall in the John Memorial trophy it was a mix of joy and fustration.
The track showed who the experienced drivers were and with some big holes it did cause the cars to bounce out of line in all the divisions. Those experienced drivers were flying and lapping cars.
Jared on the last lap of the first race got caught up in an incident giving him a dnf and in another race thought he was a pilot as he rode over the top of a car only to continue the racing. Even still with one dnf he qualified well. The last race was fastest of the back and with 17 cars (other 5 cars did not start due to damage) Jared started in grid 12 got to the front to lead for several laps, however he could not hold off Brock Maskovich . Never the less 2nd overall was a great way to end the season.
Meanwhile team mate Paul Le Cren was on fire with a 3rd, 1st and 2nd in the heats he had qaulified top and started in grid 17 and had made his way to 3rd place, when the engine went. He watched his team mate do the team proud coming across the finish line.
The next day Benajmin had racing at Rosebank
Not many cars turned up, but those that did put on some very close exciting racing for the spectatars.
He won a feature and a heat race. Anzac day he heads down to Waharoa.
