AIS National's David Sieders has resumed the outright lead in the Enzed Driver Championship for the 2011 Auto One V8 Ute Series - protected by Armor All in stunning style at Hidden Valley Raceway this weekend, 17-19 June.Checking almost every box along the way, the 2010 Rookie of the Year recorded his second Pole Position of the year, his third Race Win, set a new track lap record, and even had a mid race incident to finish the round in second place.Scoring 144 points for the weekend, the 26 year-old resident from Londonderry in Sydney's West has not only moved to first from third in the standings after this weekend, but his 13 point buffer to 2010 V8 Ute Series Champion, Grant Johnson, is also the largest lead in the 2011 Championship."What a great weekend," said Sieders, "to end up second for the weekend, after last year's engine dramas, is a really awesome feeling, and not only that but we're back in number one for the season, so I couldn't ask for much more"."The Championship Lead after the first two rounds was only one point each time, so to effectively have a 13 place buffer at this point is a pretty big deal...but there's still 20 sessions worth of points left for the year, so we're a long way from done."Sieders started the racing part of the weekend with a well run 'Pole to Podium' win in the first race on Saturday, having set the fastest time in qualifying earlier that morning from just one flying lap.From a good start, Sieders sped away from the field from the start, and set a new lap record of 1:22.3675 on his second time through, eclipsing the previous record by half a second.Whilst a mid-race safety car closed the gap to the previous record holder (Grant Johnson) on the track behind him, the opportunity to cool the tyres and engine down played a significant role in Sieders' third win of the season."I had a great start, for Race One and was really happy to be able to hold off the Holdens from the start, and stay in front," said Sieders."The safety car probably helped with our result, as I was able to cool down the car a little bit, but Grant [Johnson] is a tough competitor, he's been very strong every other time here, so to have to hold him out for the whole race is a tough job."As the winner of Race One, Sieders was responsible for drawing number 25 for the Reverse Grid Lotto, which determines the starting positions for Race Two, but started 21st after a number of 'rear of grid' penalties were handed out from Race One.Working his way through the field with the other two Series Front-Runners, the weekend was almost turned upside down when, on the third last lap, Chris Pither was turned by Grant Johnson and collided with the rear-left wheel section of Sieders' Ute, damaging the diff.Pushing the car back through the field as best he could, Sieders crossed the line in 17th, but was later promoted to 15th after a number of post-race penalties. "I saw it [the crash] unfolding, and thought 'yes, yes, yes' when it looked like I was going to get through, then I got hit by [Chris] Pither square in the side and was like 'noooo'," said Sieders, "I didn't even gather control until I was on the other side of the drain between turns five and seven"."It was very disappointing, especially since we were in 12th from 21st at the time, but with Grant [Johnson] receiving a post-race time penalty, at least it kept all of the front runners together on points."After an 8:30am berating for the number of incidents in the reverse grid race from V8 Utes' Driving Standards Director, Andrew Jones, Race Three was relatively incident free.Cumulative points from Races One and Two had Sieders starting from 5th on the grid, but he quickly made his way through to second place by lap three, and despite making up over one and a half seconds on race leader, Ryan Hansford, Sieders just couldn't find a way to the front."I took a little too long to get to get past Kim Jane and into second, and [Ryan] Hansford was able to get a little too much of a break," said Sieders, "[Ryan] Hansford was very good through the middle sector and opened the gap just too much by the front straight where our car was quick.""If there's anyone that was going to win, I'm happy it was Hansford."Finding himself on the front row of the grid for the second time of the weekend, Sieders entered the final race needing to finish four places ahead of Kim Jane if he wanted to win the round, and with Jane starting two positions back, he was going to need a flawless run and hope for some good fortune behind him.Leading the field through the first corner, Sieders held the race lead until he allowed Ryal Harris to pass relatively easily on lap six, content to finish second for the race and round, but more critically, banking invaluable points in the Championship Race."We lost a tyre from our bank of six for the weekend after the Race Two incident, so we didn't have the greatest set to race with," said Sieders, "I saw Harris coming through, so when he made a pretty strong move, I just opened the door to let him through"."With Jane running in third, there was nothing I could do to win the round, and with the pace Ryal was showing, it made sense to drop only 1 point in the Championship, rather than getting tangled up and potentially scoring nothing."The V8 Ute Series will head to Townsville in three weeks time, 8-10th July, for round three of the competition where Sieders will be looking to continue his chase for the Championship Title."I think we have a pretty good package for Townsville, so hopefully I can extend my lead, or, at the very least, hold onto the top spot for another round."
