Lines’ Turbulent Easter Trail

26-3-2008

The 2007/08 season Easter Sprintcar Trail started with a podium result during the opening round for Steve Lines, but the remaining two rounds didn’t quite go according to plan for the current South Australian State Title holder.

After placing second in the opening round at Avalon Raceway, Lines’ luck fell to the wayside as he was sidelined during the second round at his home track of Borderline Speedway in Mt. Gambier when he was caught up in some else’s crash during the feature race, and during the third and final round at Premier Speedway he was haunted by a poor qualifying run and finished the feature race back in eighth place.

“Our weekend started strongly, and from there our luck just wasn’t there, as we struggled due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and a poor qualifying result,” said Lines.

“I was hoping to continue my form from the opening night at my home track the following night but there was a collision up ahead of me during the opening lap of the feature race and I couldn’t avoid and sustained race ending damage.

“The final night saw me struggle in qualifying (18th) and that resulted in me starting further down the feature race (14th) order than I would have liked and during the race I didn’t get the breaks in order for me to progress further up the field.”

Lines, piloting his # 45 Camden Neon Signs supported J&J, will next be in action this Saturday night (March 29) at Heartland Raceway (Moama, NSW) for the final round of the Eureka Garages and Sheds Super Sprint Series.

In the 2007/08 season Lines is proudly supported by the following organisations: Holla-Fresh, Ad Trans, Maxwill Race Engines, Camden Neon Signs, BR Motorsports, Torque Power, Cascade Cleaning Solutions, KTM Australia, and Spy Eyewear & Clothing.
