After a number of false starts the Gunnedah based Daracon Croft Racing Dirt Late Model Team is set to make its season debut in Round 5 of the East Coast Late Model Series at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway (NSW) Friday January 15.

“We had every intention of being there at the start of the season however a heavy workload away from the sport forced us to re-evaluate our plans” said Ken Croft.

“Sometimes ‘real life’ gets in the way of the things we like to do, but the long period away from the track also has a positive side, as its given us plenty of time to go over the entire car and make sure everything is in top condition”.

“I must admit it’s been a little frustrating sitting on the sidelines, and I’m really keen to get back behind the wheel. We will use Friday’s show to dial ourselves in and make sure our setup is right for the Tyrepower Late Model Grand National to be held at Parramatta on January 23” Croft said.

“The Parramatta clay is super fast, and it can be tricky to master, but we enjoyed a strong run last year, leading the Gold Cup event in the early laps, so I have no doubt that we can get the job done again in 2010”.

“We just need to get a few laps under our belts Friday night in order to check things over, as its our first start at Parramatta in almost 12 months after engine problems shut down our 2008/09 campaign early” concluded Croft.
