A fourth place result was pleasing end to last weekend’s Krikke Boys Shootout at Bunbury City Speedway in Western Australia for Steve Lines.
The current and three times South Australian Sprintcar Title holder finished just off the podium in the feature race on the final night of the Krikke Boys Shootout and was pleased to have survived the tough and varied track conditions over the two nights. “We had a tough opening night but we fought back on the second night and brought home a pleasing result,” expressed VIC # 45 H.A. Young Plumbing / Camden Neon Signs supported J&J driver. “The track on the opening night was quite slick and on the second night it was soaked with water and that created a fast track that had developed plenty of ruts throughout the night. It claimed quite a few cars during the feature race, so I was quite satisfied to have brought the car home in one piece as the track was pretty unforgiving.”  After a disappointing time trial result of 17th Lines finished third in his heat race on the opening night. Lines’ heat race result advanced him into the Dash A line up and a wheel stand off the start saw him lose a number of spots and consequently he finished back in eighth. As a result of his Dash A finish, Lines started from deep in the preliminary feature race, out of position 15, and worked his way forward to finish in 10th. However, post race Lines was put back two spots to 12th by race officials who had claimed that he allegedly passed cars on the infield on the opening lap. The second and final night of the Krikke Boys Shootout was a much pleasing performance for Lines after he finished third in his heat race and fourth in Dash B. Lines then started the feature race out of position eight and he was able to progress forward and finish in fourth place. This weekend (March 6 and 7) Lines will contest the latest two rounds of the Eureka Garages & Sheds Super Sprint Series in Victoria at Simpson Speedway on Saturday night and then Avalon Raceway on Sunday night.
