Lines Sets Record Pace at Heartland Raceway

1-4-2008

Although the penultimate round of the Eureka Garages and Sheds Super Sprint Series was washed out before the feature race on Saturday night (March 29) at Heartland Raceway (Moama, NSW), Steve Lines certainly set a cracking pace up until that point aboard his # 45 Camden Neon Signs supported J&J.

In what was the first time he had returned to Heartland Raceway since winning his maiden Sprintcar feature race last season, Lines set record breaking pace, where he managed to set a new lap record, a 13.024, and also set a new 8-lap record too (1.49.060).

From his three heat races Lines finished with two wins and a second placing. Heartland Raceway promoter Dave Roberts put up a $500 bonus for any driver that broke into the 12 second barrier on the night first, and Lines certainly looked on track to achieve that.

As one would imagine Lines was the highest point scorer heading into the Top 6 Pole Shootout, and that event was postponed due to the incoming rain, in order to make way for the feature race, unfortunately the rain arrived and that cancelled the entire race meeting.

“No one likes to have their race meeting washed out, and naturally it was disappointing to not be able to run the feature race, but as we all know, the weather is something we cannot control,” Lines commented.

“We were looking good for the victory in the feature race, especially after the pace we had shown earlier in the night.”

This Saturday night’s (April 5) George Tatnell up is the event for Lines and that is set to take place at Speedway City in Adelaide, South Australia.
