Race 2 and with the reverse grid format Ross would be starting from pole. An excellent chance to take a win then but despite leading the first few laps #26 couldn’t pull away and soon slipped behind #205 and #88 before the national pairing of #718 Colin White and #734 Ralph Sanders also moved through, relegating Ross to a disappointing 5th by the finish.

Once back in the pits the main problem became clear as Ross was again struggling with the steering which in his own words ‘feels like it’s pulling my arms off’ and a setup which wasn’t quite yet in the sweet spot. Needless to say he was therefore slightly less than impressed when he inadvertently smacked himself in the nose with a larger steering wheel he was test fitting on the car…yes Dad it’s not a good enough fit on the steering column!!! ;-)
