Tatnell Takes
Ten
Author : Hi-Tec Oils World Series
 Brooke Tatnell
finally broke through for a main event win in Round Ten of the Hi-Tec Oils World
Series Sprintcars Championship at Speedway City tonight, leading the 30 lap
A-Main from flag to flag. Tatnell sped the #1 Toyota Genuine Parts Krikke
Motorsport Cool Chassis to victory ahead of an all South Aussie Posse in the
next three positions with Luke Dillon second, Matt Egel third and Dylan Jenkin
fourth.
Following the lead quartet home were Americans Jason Johnson in
fifth and Danny Smith sixth, with David Murcott seventh, Trevor Green eighth,
Robbie Farr ninth and Warrenne Ekins tenth.
Series leader James McFadden
moved from 15th to 11th (having won the B-Main earlier) Danny Reidy 12th, Steven
Caruso 13th, Jamie Cobby 14th, Daniel Pestka 15th, Lucas Wolfe 16th, Grant
Anderson 17th, Shane Stewart 18th and Luke Bowey 19th.
Mark Reuter was
the only drive to DNF with a rollover in turn one of the main event that saw the
#95 ROH entry taken out in the only stoppage of the feature race.
The win
was both sweet and a relief for the eight times WSS champion as he finally put
an end to a win-less streak and delivered a victory to his hard working
crew.
“This win is for Pete (Caporn) and Shane (Finch). They’ve been
working hard all series to get us a win and I’m really pleased we could finally
get one for them. We were fast here last time on Boxing Day but we tripped over
and rolled the car and that really upset our momentum. Tonight we really had a
faultless run and we finally got the win.”
In scoring the 30-lap A-Main
victory Tatnell becomes the first contracted WSS driver to win in ten rounds
held so far.
Jason Johnson won the preliminary (Friday night) main event
at Archerfield but until now Tatnell is the first contracted driver to win a
round.
Luke Dillon did a solid job to run second in the Hogs Breath Café
#81 after a critical performance in the Vortex Wings Top 8 Shootout saw the
second generation star move from the second row to the first row of the A-Main
grid just in the knick of time.
“I think finishing second in the Shootout
was so important. You couldn’t really make any real passing moves in the feature
so starting one row further up was definitely a bonus.”
Matt Egel was the
Revolution Racegear Quick Time man in qualifying and the hard charging South
Aussie had the Universal Forklifts #29 QT Chassis really hammering in both his
heats to earn top points going into the Vortex Wings Top 8
Shootout.
Unfortunately Luke Dillon squeezed him off a potential front
row in a last lap challenge in the Shootout and Egel was forced to start from
the second row in the main.
The USA contingent of six drivers had mixed
fortunes.
Jason Johnson fared best with fifth place in the main event
ahead of Danville Indiana veteran Danny Smith making his debut in the LPS #4
Maxim. The pair had several lively encounters in an early heat race where some
spirited slide jobs
Shane Stewart struggled in qualifying with
transponder issues and never really recovered all night in the # 17 Monte
Motorsport J&J, Lucas Wolfe showed some car speed but rolled on to his side
in the heat, had to transfer from the B-Main but never really looked comfortable
in the 30 Lap A-Main.
Tim Shaffer had his moments in the Titan Garages
Maxim won a heat race but he rolled hard in the B-Main to miss out on qualifying
for the big race.
Paul McMahan had trouble most of the night with his
Mopar motor and the affable Tennessee throttle stomper had a tough time of it in
the #25 Tamar Cars Dawkins Motorsport entry.
There were some real
chassis-wrecking crashes on the night including West Aussie Sheldon Brady who
completely destroyed his Flex Motorsport J&J when he rode a wheel and
flipped hard into the fence in turn three.
Steven Lines also had a power
meeting with the same part of the track in his heat race when he rode a right
rear wheel and all but dragged down the safety fence when the Monster Energy
Monte Motorsport J&J vaulted into the air.
Lines’ team recovered to
compete in the B-Main but missed the transfer to the big dance to round out a
disappointing night at the office for the Mt. Gambier speedster.
Jeremy
Cross became the third member of the upside down club when he made contact with
David Murcott and upended the Tyre Right #39, getting some serious height in the
process.
The Top 20 Championship points looks like this after Round Ten
at Speedway City SA:
James McFadden 2953
Brooke Tatnell
2530
Robbie Farr 2507
Jason Johnson 2458

PR by Reid VanEck - January 14, 2011
After nearly recording a victory at the first race in Australia, the D&B Goodyer Developments #7 team was back in action the following day at Mountain Dew Ice Raceway in Hobart, Tasmania.
Arriving a few minutes after the cut-off time put the team in an early hole to start the evening as they were forced to start at the back of heat competition. The adversity would not affect Dollansky however as he motored from row four to finish 2nd in both heat races.
Strong performances in the heats meant 'The Crowd Pleaser' was high point man for the main event. In the A-Main Dollansky ran towards the front and was narrowing the gap between himself and the leader as the laps winded down. The Elk River, Minnesota native came close to passing for the lead on the last lap but finished 2nd behind Jamie Bricknell.
Quick stats:
| HEAT RACE 1: 2nd, start (8) |
| HEAT RACE 3: 2nd, start (7) |
| A-MAIN: 2nd, start (1) |
