The 27th of March saw the National Midget Car Series arrive in Napier. It was Darrens third time in the car and as it was a eent close to home it was a good chance to get some laps in and learn more about the car. With two 12 lap features and a 30lap final it was a good amount of racing. The heats were reasonably trouble free with Darren finishing them in 6th and 7th. The Feature was pretty uneventfull with only one Caution on the opening lap which caused a full restart. The remainder of the feature running under green conditions, Darren managed to finish in 9th after struggling with not quite the right setup for the conditions and getting used to the lines to drive the midget, it was a valuable learning experience in preparation for running the car full time.
