Playing Poker at PCR
March 19, 2008
After a week off Warren and the Ferguson Autosports team were all looking forward to getting to track and doing some racing. Sponsor, Les Darcy of Fruitwheels Refrigerated Transport would be there and the team was keen for a strong showing. A difficult track was presented to all with the grader making an appearance after hot laps which settled the track a little for those who were timing early in the list. A late time and a 20th place result was the accepted result for the Visual Impact Embroidery #32. A front row start in the 4th heat saw a great move by Warren in the Deco Glaze Glass Splashback car, rounding up Pole sitter Martin Lawes and moving into the lead on the first lap. Warren stayed in front during the numerous restarts for other cars which had crashed or spun and led all the way to the chequered flag. Even after winning his heat Warren and the Deco Glaze team missed out on a dash spot by one position due to the time trial result, but would go straight into the nights A-Main. As the A-main pushed off Warren knew this race would be like playing “poker” – a lot of patience, a little bluffing and then decide wether to “bet or fold”. Starting from position 20 on a racetrack with ruts as deep as your knees, everyone knew passing would be tough. The first 15 laps were pretty much follow the leader with little to no passing. At this point Warren made the decision to fold the hand he was dealt and pulled the car in to the pits. “ We were just stuck down the back, I was watching the guys in front of me making desperate moves and decided I wasn’t willing to destroy our car or anyone else’s with stupid passing attempts. There is always next week. This team doesn’t have money to burn” Consequently the result would be a disappointing DNF, but with a straight race car. For our next event we look forward to the completion of the Australian Title at PCR on March 29th. In the meantime Ferguson Autosports wishes all our supporters and those involved with the team Happy Easter and hopes the Easter Bunny is kind to you all.
