It
has been a difficult 2006/07
season for Scott McPherson since
the debut of his # 7 Better
Trailers supported Rayburn,
but on Saturday night (March
3) at Nowra Speedway (South
Coast) things took a turn for
the better when he claimed the
inaugural New South Wales (NSW)
State Late Model Title.
After
qualifying for the 20-lap feature
race on pole position (after
finishing his three heat races
in second, fourth, and first),
McPherson led from start to
finish, defeating Nathan Disney
and Darryl Grimson. However,
McPherson’s victory almost wasn’t,
as on the one and only yellow
light (lap 17) he suffered the
loss of the gear selector during
the caution period, but luckily
he managed to find the race
gear and completed the final
sprint to the chequered flag.
“We
were lucky there towards the
end of the feature race with
the gear selector drama, and
it was certainly touch and go
there for a moment or two during
the caution period,” explained
a relieved McPherson.
“Heading
into the Nowra Speedway meeting
we chanced our hand with setup
and it worked a treat as we
took the win.”
McPherson
is the first to admit that the
2006/07 season has been a tough
one, as the Better Trailers
Racing team has struggled to
come to grips with their new
car.
“So
far this season we have struggled
with our new car, and to be
honest it was becoming quite
frustrating,” admitted McPherson.
“Our
team made many wholesale changes
before heading to Nowra Speedway,
which we have done numerous
occasions this season, but this
time our changes worked in our
favour.”
With
the persistence of his hard
working Better Trailers Racing
team, (made up of wife Janine,
daughters Katie and Kristy,
and team members Tony and Gaz),
along with the advice from Allan
Blake, and Graeme Silk Race
Engines, success has been achieved.
“Definitely
our result at Nowra Speedway
has turned our season around
for the better, and I’m confident
of a solid finish to what has
been a very frustrating season,”
McPherson added.
Currently,
McPherson is placed second behind
leader Ken Croft in the East
Coast Late Model Series point
score. The next appearance
for the East Coast Series is
set down for Parramatta City
Raceway on Saturday, March 17.
