The clocked banito made it through the 10 minute qualifier heats with out a pit stop which is all you can ask from an engine with so much power, having to run a lap to get to the rolling start and completing the 10 minutes and the extra lap back into the pits the engine was running 12 minutes on a 148ml tank, fantastic work Neal.

During the 30 minute 4th bump up final the engine was running awsome and we came in for fuel around every 8 minutes in which I placed 2nd making my way into the semi's, during the semi's 30 minute race we new in order to make the main I was going to have to cut out one of the pit stops so we pitted right on the 10 minute stops and finished 6th making it into the 15 car final and during the 60 minute A main final we ran the 10 minute pit stops as well, great work from the clocked banito through out the event.

Thanks to my sponsors, Nick & Lee at Wot Hobbies, Radiopost Australia, Nitro X Fuels and all the guys that helped out in the pits during the event.
