With three feature wins credited to the team at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway this season, Nathan Smee Racing returned to their home track for round six of the TPCR championship. Vying to add to his ever growing speedway resume, Smee took to the circuit for his first heat from a rear position.

 

On the charge at the drop of the green, Nathan began to work his way through the field utilising every line across the circuit. Making his way to his familiar high line, the Kingsfeld Excavation and Haulage Speedcar 6 began to make inroads on the leaders.

 

Running a tight race with his fellow competitors in the opening laps, Smee stuck to the high line and shot into turn three in a battle for heat placings. Entering turn four the NSR campaign took a turn for the worse as a car dove underneath and quickly moved up track striving for the same track position. With the two cars making contact at speed, Nathan was caught out and sent on a wild ride with the car launching skywards.

 

Capturing more than enough air time for any racer, the car rolled before landing heavily in a damaged state directly in front of his team watching on the hill. Shaken up, Nathan stepped out of the vehicle on his own accord before his battered race car was transported back to the pits. With extensive damage to the car, NSR head back to the workshop this weekend to assess the total repairs needed knowing round 5 of the SSS and the prestigious Australian Speedcar Championship are just around the corner.
