Bob Sharp Trophy Briefs

[REAR WHEEL ROOST DUDE]

James Holder took a well earnt 2nd placing at the Bob Sharp Trophy meeting held at the Nepean Raceway NSW Australia on Sunday 2nd October 2005. The meeting was held in unseasonably hot and dry conditions with temperatures more reminiscence of early January as opposed to early October.

 

Both the Holder brothers kicked off proceedings in fine style with good opening heat wins including Chris defeating eventual meeting winner Mark Jones in his opening heat but unfortunately for the Australian u 21 champion he suffered some unfortunate mechanical gremlins in his next 2 heats which robbed his chances of a certain final berth though Chris did well considering the circumstances endured to finish with 9 points for his efforts on the day

 

Chris was racing for the first time a brand new GM engine Stuha diamond & Scandic Clutch setup and unfortunately encountered some problems with the new set up with a couple of DNF's earlier in the day. But once those minor teething problems were sorted out Chris was back to his usual "smooth cruise" self and was able to come out and take another couple of heat victories.

 

James though was the man of the hour for the Redloh Racing team today and deservedly so and showed his potential for a good summer ahead for the Appin based flyer by taking out a hard fought never say die 2nd place effort in the final behind Albury's Mark Jones & ahead of Sydney's Jaye Herne in 3rd and the Hunter Valley's Korey Williams in 4th.

 

The team would also like to thank their sponsors for their continuing support and we look forward to your continued partnership in the future.
