THIS month\u2019s third round of the 2021 Victorian Club Autocross Series was won by Ballarat Light Car Club racer Richard Gay.<\/p>\n
Driving a Mitsubishi VR4 four-wheel-drive turbo, Gay was one of approximately 60 drivers competing in a variety of vehicles at BLCC\u2019s Mitchell Park track.<\/p>\n
Completing six timed laps, some of which were the quickest of the meet, he won the event by two tenths of a second.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe course surface changed several times throughout the day, which caused several drivers to spin and kept everyone on their toes,\u201d Gay said.<\/p>\n
Other performing Ballarat drivers included Reg Johnson in a rear-wheel-drive Galant who placed 16th outright, and reasonably new competitive driver, Glen Rivers, who achieved 26th place.<\/p>\n
\u201cRod Hall, in his Laser, won Class D and was 31st outright. Dylan Simonis finished third in Class E and was 43rd outright in his sideways Commodore.<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung 16-year-old, Jordon McDonald was flying in his Peugeot 206 GTI to win Class J and 14th outright, and the local grudge-match in Class P was won by Paul Gladman in his TX3 Laser, with just one second back to Sam Rozitis in the surprisingly quick Mirage,\u201d Gay said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were 12th and 13th outright, respectively, the first of the front-wheel-drive runners.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Victorian Club Autocross Series meet doubled as an opportunity to score 2021 BLCC Autocross Championship Series points.<\/p>\n
With one more round of the local comp to go, Gay\u2019s recent success has also secured him the BLCC Championship, which will conclude this Sunday, 16 May.<\/p>\n
He is sponsored by businesses including Doherty & Clark, Auto Projects, Craig Signs, Dawsey Performance and Shift Works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
