We're all finished here at Shakespeare County Raceway after a long and busy day's testing and tuning. We think we've got all or almost all racers' completed runs today in the log below, but apologies to any racers we missed.

Thanks for their help this weekend to: Wayne, Simon and Ozzy of the tech crew; all the APIRA race officials; Bruno and the FAST team; APIRA Press Officer Jerry Cookson; Tracy in the media centre; Bob Frye; and Cath and Tig Napier.

We will post the weekend's pictures either when we get home tonight or during tomorrow.

Our next event coverage will be from the Super Series Springnationals here at Shakespeare County Raceway on 4th-6th May. This report was brought to you in association with American Car Imports.

A big thanks to Wayne Schreier and the tech crew who put the phone line back together this morning.

Outlaw Anglia racer Gary Malin is A-OK following a top end crash this morning. The car got out of shape towards the finish line then turned left and went up on its side before tagging the guardrail and flipping. All of the safety features on the car did their job, Gary was taken to the medical centre for a routine check but was fine. The FAST team did the usual excellent job in getting to Gary before the car had even stopped, the tech crew did a stirling job in putting the timing cables back together, and the track crew swung into action to repair the armco.
