Lienz GP Short is a track known for its beautiful forest-scape and treacherous down hill section near the end of the lap. Earlier in the week Team Think Again held several practices as they knew that the smallest of track nuances could send your Z Mini flying through the air, with or without your tires. The Z Minis have been a popular choice in the community lately. They are small, darty, and tons of fun.
The race started from a standing start with Bailey qualifying 13th on the grid. There were many other Team Think Again teammates strewn throughout the field with Eric Tupper leading the team effort in third position.

The first lap of the race went much better than what was expected through the downhill section of the track known as "Pinball Alley". Throughout the race you could have lost count of the random buts of car pieces and tires strewn around the track. In the final 15 minutes of the 30 minute race Bailey and Mark Carty were entangled in a heated battle for the top positions of the race, dashing and dodging traffic and debris along the way. On the final lap of the race Carty was able to pass Bailey on the inside at the top of the hill right before entering the single line "Pinball Alley". Carty finished the race in 2nd with Bailey in 3rd. The next race in the series will be at the fast, flowing track of Mosport.
