Last lap the rear diff blew and the half-shaft broke so Tim did very well to get the car around the last lap and across the chequered flag. We also noticed at the end the front left spinner on the wheel was missing only some broken threads were holding the wheel on.Thanks to Peter Auto (Patrick Peter) for a great meeting and Carol Spagg and Team for all the rose wine and support over the weekend.
