09/10 Season Starts with a Podium Finish                                                                4-11-2009

The 2009/10 season kicked off last Sunday night at Carrick Speedway in Tasmania with the opening round of the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series for Jamie Bricknell and it resulted in a third place finish on the podium.

A podium finish was a pleasing way to start the new season and it is certainly a result that the Bricknell Motorsport team can build on for the remainder of the 2009/10 season.

Bricknell had started the feature race out of position four, after he had finished his two heat races earlier in the night with a fifth and a win, and from the drop of the green slotted into third place and that was where he remained for the entire 25 lap journey.

“Finishing on the podium is just the start to the season that we were looking for and this gives us added confidence and builds plenty of momentum,” the 20-year-old expressed. “We messed up in the feature race by making the wrong right rear tyre choice. After about seven laps I knew that I didn’t have anything for the drivers ahead of me to challenge them due to the right rear tyre having little drive for the track surface, so I just did my best to maintain my position and stay where I was.”

With the 09/10 season opener out of the way the Bricknell Motorsport team now turns their focus to Hobart International Speedway this Saturday night (November 7) for the second round of the Farmers Union Sprintcar Series.
