Christian Python's Flying Circus

CALDER Park played host to the fourth round of the Victorian Motor Racing Championship Series on August 5/6 and each of the categories saw either a closely fought affair or a domination by one driver.
That certainly was the case in Marque Sports. Christian D'Agostin's fastest lap time was 1.5s quicker than the runner?up (Tom Cantell's Datsun 240Z) and the Python driver won by 10 seconds in the 10 lap pointscore race. Will Davison was another to dominate, getting in some vital practice on the layout before the Formula Ford national series round there this weekend.
Davison was quickest in every session and blitzed Glen Hastings and Greg Woodrow in the pointscore race. Neville Haley was easily the quickest in the Commodore Cup category to win by six seconds over David ‘Skippy’ Parsons, having a guest drive for the weekend, and Daniel Richert.
The RX7 domination in Club Cars continued with Scott Doughty beating home the Commodore of Dean Camm by four seconds with the similar car of Mario Caligari home in third.

Hart Mason continued his strong run in Formula Vee, the Jacer chassis too good for Daniel Reinhardt and Andy Nethercote. The power of Greg McPherson's Ford Mustang was just enough to get him over the line in the Group N pointscore race ahead of the XU1 Torana of Scott Slater and the Charger of Garry Treloar.
The numbers in the HQ class meant organisers set up a top and bottom 50 percent race structure, Guy Thomson, Michael O'Keefe and Glen MeDonald filling the top three ahead of M News'karting correspondent Mark Wicks. Mario Gaffiero won the bottom 50 percent pointscore race.
Tony Hubbard's Holden Calibra was too strong in Sports Sedans, beating Rod Smith's Falcon.
