This was the second time the Canberra club hosted the XRAY Race Series. Unfortunately the 2019 edition of the clubs round was to end in the same way as 2018⦠rain. The weather looks great at the start of the day, unfortunately as the progressed showers threatened, finally arriving just as we started the finals. With the race meeting cancelled we declared the results on the three rounds of completed qualifying.
We tried 2 new classes - Formula TT and 1/12th Stock. Racing in all classes was close with only a few seconds separating the top three drivers in most classes.
Ray Zarb posted the quickest times in the second and third rounds of 21.5 granting him the win Gerard Elias managed to post his fastest time in round three to take second place overall just 2 seconds behind Ray while Phillip Merrick finished in third place just two seconds behind Gerard.
