Race 1 - Snetterton 9-10 April 2005 (cont...)
Martindales showed early speed but lost time in
the pits with dirt in the fuel system, a similar problem
hitting the front-running Honeywell car.
Racecar.com and SSJ battled for second with SSJ taking
the spot with just minutes to go – only for the gear-linkage
to come adrift and leave them stuck in 5th and cruising
to the finish as a grateful Racecar.com raced past.
SsangYong slipped back to 4th after also being hit
by dirt in the fuel with the Team Hyside lads coming
in 5th – a fantastic achievement for two drivers in
their first ever race, in a car they had never even
driven before. Well done!
So Beetlejuice took their maiden win scoring a first
for the camera car too. It was the first time that father
and son had raced together with no other drivers. SSJ
made it onto the podium for the first time also – grabbing
a lap record 1.26.142 fastest lap in the process.
