All Star Series Kicks Off At Oakleigh

The Melbourne based All Star Series kicked off at Oakleigh on the weekend, over 270 entrants running across 13 classes. The meeting was also the opening round of the Formula 100 Titan Series and the club's annual Kingston Cup.

Aaron Ivermee drew first blood at round 1 of the F100 Titan Series. Now aboard BRM chassis, the Geelong driver qualified fastest in the 22 kart field ahead of Sarron Caddy and Daniel Richert. Richert and Ivermee split the heat wins before Ivermee won the pre-final and final. Dominic Albanese took out the F100 Heavy honours.

Franky Costanzo proved to be a highlight in several classes. The Arrow driver had a big win in Clubman Heavy, beating Matt Wall and Jace Lindstrom, and took a clean sweep of the Senior National ‘pro’ class. James Sera and Gary Jacobson were unbeaten in Clubman Light and Junior National Heavy respectively.

Other winners were Bevan Garioch (Clubman Over 40s), Scott McLaughlin (Junior Clubman), Liam Sager (Junior National Light), Justin Schneider (Leopard Heavy), David Sera (Leopard Light), Liam McLellan (Midgets), Liam Morey (Rookies) and Rick Pringle (Rotax Heavy).

A couple of lap records fell on the weekend. Garry Jacobson lowered the Junior National Heavy time to 45.197s and Franky Costanzo did likewise in Senior National 'Pro', 45.702s (following Seb Geritz setting a new record on the Saturday with 45.703!). Apparently Costanzo now holds the lap record in two classes as he already owns the Clubman Heavy time (41.865s).

The Leader newspaper was at the circuit during practice on Friday. A multi-media gallery of photo and sound grabs from the day has been posted on the newspaper's website HERE.

Round 2 of the All Star Series is at Todd Road on May 4-5. Supp Regs are in the KartSportNews Events Calendar.
