on the 26th and 27th of January

Charlton Raceway 1st December 2007

This season Felicia has not been off to a good start, but on Saturday night Felicia made her come back in the 
feature. For the first 3 races she started near the rear of the field, in the first race Felicia had a flat tyre, which 
put her out with 2 laps to go.

In the 2nd heat Felicia finished the race in about 6th coming from near the rear of the field.

Felicia's 3rd heat was a bit hectic, half way through the race Tiffany came from down low and hit Felicia fairly 
hard in the side, but Felicia was able to keep racing.  A few laps later little Ryan came down on Felicia and
got caught in front of Felicia, at that stage the race had been declared.

In the Feature Felicia started out of 10th.  When the track was dry and starting to get a few ruts, Felicia had 
a good race, hardly touching anyone on the track, Felicia and young Anteny Genrich gave the two 
commodores a good run for nearly 3 laps side by side not touching each other once. Felicia let Anteny slip 
away when she want a bit high in turn one and two pulling in a nice clean 5th.

Felicia had new suspension set up in the car for the first time since she came back last season, making a 
bit harder to drive because she was not use to it.

Charlton Raceway 6th October 2007

Felicia went out for her first race of the 2007/2008 Season, all but very nervous. But the track was wet and 
Felicia didn't get a start as they started while she was half a lap behind the rest of the field, so she pulled 
in and didn't complete the race saving her car for the next race.

Felicia had a outside poll start for heat two racing Hayden Byrne to the first corner, Felicia had the race under 
control from there leading the whole race until the last lap when she got a bit excited and made a little 
mistake going into turn 1 and 2. Felicia tried her best to regain 1st but just missed out by half a car length.

Felicia's final was not another good start to her season. Starting close to rear off the field she slowly moved 
her way up the field before getting black flagged, so not a very good start for her 1st meeting back. But she
will be coming back strong on the 
3rd of November.

Charlton Raceway 20th January 2007

After having almost a full season off due to upgrading the car to meet new rule requirements, Felicia did not have a real good start in heat one not knowing what the car would handle like, only completing 3 laps. Heat two Felicia came out on a better looking track and it changed her night as she had a little idea on what the
car was like, Felicia managed to place second. In the final Nathan Macdonald jumped in and went passenger starting at the rear of the field Felicia made an outside move around one car. This gave Mitchell some clear space to try and get a handle on the car. After hitting a slick part of the track out of turn 4, Mitchell got a bit too sideways and lost one position. Felicia finished the race mid pack and felt more confident as the night went on. With some more track time and car set-up, Felicia is hoping to pick-up from where she left off last season.
