Third win from as many starts for Macdonald
Sunday December 4, 2005

Nathan Macdonald continued his dream start to the season after winning all three races at Charlton Raceway on Saturday night.  After rainfall throughout the week, it was still not enough to dampen the clay track surface.  Dust was flying off the track after the first race.  For heat 1 Peter Campbell was to start from pole, with Nathan Macdonald out of position 2, Shane Hollyman out of 3 and Norm Townsend 4. 

The improved sedans were also joined with Sprint Sedans due to low numbers.  Macdonald managed to find better drive on the outside jumping into the lead, only to have a total restart after Shane Hollyman and Peter Campbell come together up the straight, which saw Campbell spin out and Hollyman being sent to rear of field.  Macdonald jumped into the lead once again, with Campbell sticking on his tail all race.  Macdonald took the heat 1 win Peter Campbell 2nd and Peter Gray 3rd.  1st-Nathan Macdonald  2nd-Peter Campbell  3rd-Peter Gray 

Nathan Macdonald found his #32 car out of pole position for the second heat, with Hollyman on the outside, Peter Campbell out of 3 and Norm Townsend 4.  The water truck had wet the track before the race which made the surface extremely greasy.  Hollyman found drive off the start, taking the lead and going wide, while Macdonald stuck down low and darted back into the lead.  Peter Gray come through the field to give Macdonald a hurry up.  The Mac1 Designs commodore running right up near the wall to try and find some traction.  Hollyman dropped back through the field, while Macdonald took out the heat 2 win.  1st-Nathan Macdonald  2nd-Peter Gray  3rd-Darran Ciesolka 

The feature race starting positions was not decided by points but rather drawn out of a hat.  Shane Hollyman started from position 1, followed by Peter Campbell, Norm Townsend and Nathan Macdonald.  The water truck was once again out on the track, giving it a sprinkle before the race.  As the green lights come on, Shane Hollyman found the lead around the turn 1, while Macdonald went high around the outside of Peter Campbell.  Darren Ciesolka made a good start, moving into 2nd place down on the inside, with Macdonald 3rd.  Out in front Shane Hollyman threw it all away by spinning out on lap 2, misjudging the greasy Charlton surface, handing the lead to Ciesolka. 

Macdonald had a good run up the back straight to pass Ciesolka, only to be put back to 2nd place after there was a stoppage after another car spun.  After the restart, Macdonald found a good line around turn 1 and 2, getting another good run on Ciesolka on the inside and making the pass into the lead.  Macdonald encountered lapped traffic during the race but wasn't enough to slow him down.  With one lap to go Darrel Graham lost a wheel after hitting the wall, causing a stoppage, the race then being declared.  Macdonald ecstatic with the win, after a horror first two seasons at the Charlton track, Macdonald now feels comfortable circling the home track in the new car.  1st-Nathan Macdonald  2nd-Darran Ciesolka  3rd-Peter Gray
