Brett Comiskey with navigators Daniel Mckenzie & Corey Cooper have won the 2020 Albins ARB Goondiwindi 400 today in the #34 CMS Racing Jimco. Driving a smart race, Comiskey tamed the famous Gundy melon holes and took the lead on the final lap of race to finish in an overall time of 4hr 20min 19.402 seconds.
Pushing hard all weekend, Class 1 pilots Tony Fehlhaber and Garry Howell took second outright, 1min 35.588sec behind Comiskey in their #138 Chenowth. The father and daughter team of Russell and Kelsey Hartnett drove their #245 Razorback Class 2 buggy into third outright in 4hr 24min 32.903sec.
Talbot Cox and Craig King in the #16 Racer led the race after section 1 on Saturday afternoon but were forced to retire on Sunday. While the son and father team of Ryan and Nev Taylor were a team on a mission on the opening lap of section 2, on Sunday morning, posting the quickest lap time of the weekend, a 48min 15.238sec in their twin turbo V6 powered #24 Tatum! Unfortunately a failed lift pump would put an end to their charge!
