2009 Awards Dinner

Well last Saturday was the 2009 Awards Dinner and a final chance for the teams to get together this year and receive any awards they had won. I will be doing a full article on this on the main news page and should also have the photos up by tonight but i just wanted to do a quick entry here to say a personal Well Done and Congratulations to Barry Fishburn our spotter who won the Spotter of the year award. If anybody who goes to Rockingham has not heard him yet then you must try and get access to a scanner and have a listen as it can be quite entertaining at times. I am going to attatch a small recording of Barry in action to this entry. Well Done Barry!

2009 Season Over & Done

Best blow away the dust and cobwebs, did not realise i had not posted here since September. Well the 2009 season is now finished and the final standings are available on the race dates page of the site. I have to say that after the first race at Brands Hatch today myself i was quietly concerned that any further issues like that of race 1 then we would lose our 3rd Place in the Championship to Stevie (Dance), But i had not even considered what happened in the second race could of happened, For Whatever the reason, Phil (White) did not finish the second race whilst we managed a 3rd, Suddenly things had turned around we found ourselves finishing the championship in 2nd Place behind Pete Stevens, And Phil being relegated to 4th with Stevie Dance moving up to 3rd. Well i would not of predicted that!!! SO after a long and hard season which has been fraught with Highs and Lows, Like other's we have had our share of bad luck but as a team we are more than happy with our final championship position, And Michael has enough to be pleased about, 1 Fastest Lap, 2 Fastest Qualifying Sessions, 3 Wins, 1 Second & 2 Thirds! All in all i feel that is a pretty good season and is testament to all of the hard work that everybody involved at Smith Motorsport puts into making this happen. Finally i would like to say Congratulations to Pete Stevens 2009 Oval and overall Championship winner, Steve Dance who has been very quick all season and finished 3rd, And Commiserations to Phil White who missed out on 3rd in the championship at the very last hurdle. Last but not least, Congratulations and well done to all involved with Smith Motorsport!!!!
