I scheduled a bye for the Australia Day holiday, planning to have a fun run that night for those who are around... does anybody actually want a bye in the season that week?

Bueller wins both races and hence the round, despite some stiff competition from Dietmar in race 2.

Race 2 was a bit messy, with cars bumped, braking out of place, avoiding other cars, which lead to some offs, but there's no clear blame for what was a sequence of events.

Penalties
Race 1
AbleArcher hit bradc in the rear corner in a tight corner, but I don’t think it was clearly anyone’s fault. AbleArcher was braking slowly up the inside; bradc turned in on him a bit (on the racing line) – racing incident.

Race 2
JamieP cannonballed into the back of AbleArcher – 60 kg penalty ballast for next race.
