This race started the tone of the weekend just nicely. With Tristan and Chelsea taking this 1 down to the wire. We had 2 parents having heart troubles in the pits watching this. Went down to the last bracket with Tristan taking the win by 1 lap.

Lotus Tourer 20 Entries

This the biggest class of the weekend and probably the most competitive with so many different drivers capable of winning. The final had 3 drivers battling out the front. All cars were wounded from racing in the semi's so it was a tough race. Ben made it 2 years in a row as Hawk motor champion.

Ross Gay 321

Group F 9 Entries

This race was run as round robin and no qualifying. The lane choice was done random to spice things up. The race was close between Bradley and Chelsea. Even with all the traffic on the track Bradley drove home with a great win by 1 lap. This class was sposored by Bodies by Cody. Had bodies to 4th place which made the young ones day.

Bradley Verbeek 365

This class was dominated by Russell Gale. We ran 2 finals with you Chelsea taking out the first final over Roundy. She had put up a good lap total. It just wasn't enough with Russell storming home for a comfortable win.

We had new bodies this year on these so the pace was so much faster then the old track record. Brad Cathcart was a whole 2 tenths under the old mark. The final started out with looking like the exsiting champion Ben was going to have his work cut out for him with Brad being right with him. Brad found him self in the wrong place at the wrong time and got some damage. Ben managed to control the race from there keeping Russell at bay.

This class was fast. With the new HP slot car chassis getting around in blistering speed. Tristan TQ'ed with a 3.099 2 tenths under the old record. The final was lead by Tristan from start to finish. With Adrian breaking something and Ross having a motor let go. Ben ran into traffic. Tristan had a great drive to take out a very competitive class.

With 3 finals being run it came down to being in the right race. The A final was super fast. With Roundy doing an awesome job on Black with 92 laps being the difference. After 6 brackets Chelsea was leading overall. Didn't have the best finish but still I think she raised some eyebrows.

Dan Roberts 706
Lee Evans 701
Geoff Little 699

The final started out with a hot pace between Cody Rick and Adrian. After 2 brackets they had cleared the rest of the field by 20 plus laps. Rick had a motor issue in the 3rd leaving Cody and Adrian to battle it out. That they did. This race went down to the last bracket with Cody showing his experience and composer to take the final in the last by 9 laps.

I too had a good time, meeting a few new people, enjoying the
food, hospitality and a race or two. Congratulations to everyone
who competed, especially Brad (the little kid) Verbeek who is an
AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION at the tender age of 10! and Chelsea who
drove very well in many classes and beat me in all of them.
Hopefully will see everybody at the Brock mid-year
