February 21 - It was an amazing weekend for Darren Sutton and the Sutton SpeedSport Team driving the Watsons Express Transport 96fm Triple XXX Wingless Sprint at the Perth Motorplex double header. By the end of the weekend Sutton had amassed four wins which included a feature win on night one at the banked clayway.

“We stripped the car during the week and went right through it, I replaced some suspension parts and went with a different setup than I normally use and the Triple XX was just a rocket ship” Said a very happy Sutton after night ones feature win.

The two night deal was run separately with each driver having two heats and feature on each night with an over arching pointscore counting towards the Motorplex king of Kwinana trophy.

Night One

Sutton’s very tight setup on the drivey track suited his driving style and a three wide pass in turns 1 and 2 in his second heat put him in the lead and cemented him at the top of the points board going into the feature.

Starting from pole, Sutton drag raced fellow front runner Marshall McDiarmid to the first turn where Sutton held station and survived several re-starts getting some good ground each time. Sutton went on to his second feature win of the season.

“I am just so happy with how we are going the car has been faultless the crew have been outstanding and our setup which was quite radical tonight has worked a treat”.

Night Two

Heading into Saturday nights event the track started off greasy with Sutton moving from sixth to second by race end.

“The track is greasy tonight but it will come good later on I will be changing the setup to suit and hopefully that should do the trick”.

 Heat two and starting from fifth position Sutton worked the high and low line passing several cars in the first few laps then working past the two front runners on the outside to go on and claim his third heat win of the weekend.

“The changes made a massive difference. The track has dialed in nicely now so we just need to keep plugging away and it’s a new ball game now with 26 cars in the feature”.

Lining up alongside Lee Nash for the feature and Sutton was looking forward to the challenge, but it wasn’t to be with Sutton exiting immediately with an electrical fault and dashing any hope of a second feature win on the weekend.

“The feeling is hard to describe at the moment I am a bit gutted really, but in saying that I had a ball out there this weekend just competing on a racy track against all these guys (and girl) at the end of the day I think we proved we can mix it with the guys at the top now on a regular basis so we just need to make sure any small problems that knock us out just don’t happen”
