It certainly wasn’t Danny Reidy’s strongest run of the 2014-15 season, but he managed to fight his way through what was a frustrating night at Brisbane’s Archerfield Speedway.

After a poor start, where he qualified 23rd out of 32-car field in time trials, Reidy had his back up against the wall for the remainder of the night. By virtue of winning both of his heat races, he managed to qualify for the feature race out of position nine.

From the drop of the green flag in the feature race, Reidy made early progress and moved up to seventh, but on a track where passing opportunities were minimal, he struggled to move any higher. With one main racing line and growing frustrated with the follow-the-leader style racing, he ventured up to the top of the track, but it was to no avail. At the fall of the chequered flag, he finished back in a disappointing 11th.

“I had a poor run in qualifying, and that put me on the back foot for the remainder of the night,” explained the NQ # 5 Desert Palms Resort in Alice Springs supported Maxim driver.

“For the feature race, I made a good start on what turned out to be a one-lane track, but later in the race I tried something different by running the top of the track, which didn’t work out for me.”

In what was his first race meeting back since his crash at Sydney’s Valvoline Raceway late last month, Reidy was pleased with the performance of his brand-new Maxim.

The next outing for Reidy will be back at Valvoline Raceway on Boxing Night (December 26) for the running of the annual Valvoline Grand Prix.

Reidy would like to thank Desert Palms Resort in Alice Springs, P&M Motor Body Repairs, Inglis Race Engines, and Mako Sunglasses for their 2014-15 season support.
