Victory # 2 for Bricknell in 09/10 Season                                                              15-12-2009

Youngster Jamie Bricknell at Carrick Speedway in Tasmania claimed his second victory honours for the 09/10 season when he took out the twin feature race format last Saturday night (December 12).

This latest feature race victory continues the impressive start Bricknell has made to the 09/10 season and on was what a very difficult and challenging Carrick Speedway track he came out on top to finish second in the opening 25 lap feature race and he then won the second 25 lap feature race. With a second and victory Bricknell took out the twin feature race format overall winning honours.

Bricknell, aboard his TAS # 55 Montile Tile Boutique supported Maxim, qualified for the twin feature races as the equal highest point scorer with three other drivers after he finished his two heat races with a hard charging fifth place (from position 11 in the field) in the opening heat race and then an impressive victory in the second heat race. All four highest points drew their starting positions from a hat and Bricknell drew position four and that was where he started the opening feature race from.

After a second place finish behind Shaun Dobson in the opening feature race, the top 8 finishers had to get one of their team members to draw their starting position for the second feature race out of a hat. Bricknell’s mum, Margy, proved to be his lucky charm by drawing pole position for her son. Taking full advantage of his pole position start in the second feature race Bricknell jumped to the lead from the drop of the green and was never challenged for the entire 25 lap distance.

“We were quick all night and got the job done in the feature races and you couldn’t ask for anything more than that,” Bricknell expressed. “It was a tough track all night, as you had to conserve your tyres in both of the feature races or otherwise you were going to struggle. I tried not to be too throttle happy during the feature races and I played it safe with my tyres and it paid off and that was the key to my victory on the night.”

Bricknell is next going to be in action on Boxing Night (December 26) where he will run back at Carrick Speedway and that is something the 20-year-old from Launceston is looking forward to.

“There is a big 25k to win event on at Carrick Speedway in March next year and I want to do as many laps as possible around there before the event in order to give me the best possible chance at being a front running contender,” concluded Bricknell.
