Wells is ready for round 2


MARK WELLS FINISHED 4TH LAST TIME OUT AND IS LOOKING TO IMPROVE. PIC BY PETER ROEBUCK.

TYPICALLY Mark Wells talks down big sprintcar races, saying it’s just another race, but this Saturday night’s event is one he is pumped up to perform well in.

The Magic Man 34, honouring the late Michael Figliomeni, is one a lot of drivers are lining up to win and Wells is no different.

“I have known the Figlomeni family since motocross days and Michael and I were mates and I enjoyed some good races with him,” Wells said.

It progressed to sprintcar racing where they also raced regularly over the years.

“He was a great guy and he has a great family…not only do we miss Michael but it was also sad to hear that his mum Eileen passed away earlier this year as well.

“We are looking forward to doing well, and seeing his father Frank who is a great guy as well…we will be doing our hardest to win this one, that’s for sure.

“Hopefully he (Michael) is looking down on us and gives us a bit of luck and puts us up the front.”

Wells has a bit of confidence going into round two of the AHG Sprintcar Series after finishing strong in the opening round at the Perth Motorplex on October 21, finishing fourth.

Racing his GF1 chassis for the first time the Geraldton Jet was impressed with the way it handled and how it responded to most changes they made.

“I think in the feature race we were definitely on the pace.”

He said the car tended to lean over a bit too much on the right rear tyre at times and they think they found the problem when preparing in the workshop this week.

“But overall the car is not doing anything wrong and we are pretty happy with it.”
