NSW State Championships - Day 2 Heats & Pre-Finals

AKA press from karting.net.au

Saturday racing has concluded at the NSW State Championships sponsored by PDL Electrical Solutions in Port Macquarie. See below for heat and pre-final results from Saturday, with further Pre-Finals and all Finals to be held on Sunday.

RESULTS: PRE-FINAL

LEOPARD HEAVY
1. #77 Daniel Baker
2. #3 Matt Greenbury
3. #2 Nathan Mills
4. #88 Daniel Stein
5. #22 Brad Belcher

Daniel Baker won this Pre-Final easily to secure pole for the final. The front half of the field spread out over the early laps, with the only surprise the DNF of Newcastle’s Simon Roberts, who retired on lap three with engine problems.

CLUBMAN LIGHT
1. #96 David Sera
2. #1 Bart Price
3. #38 Ben Stewart
4. #62 Amy Waters
5. #73 Deepal Kandola

Just as they did in the final of Rotax Light at the Rotax Nationals last month, David Sera and his Arrow boss Bart Price battled it out for the win, with the younger of the DPE pilots taking the win. Gold Coaster Ben Stewat continued to impress with third to give Arrow a trifecta, with Amy Waters getting Deepal Kandola right on the line for fourth.

This Pre-Final was marred by a major incident mid-race that resulted in a lengthy red flag stoppage. James Sera experienced engine troubles while leading, was passed by Price entering Turn 1 and on the exit of Turn 1 his engine seized, leaving his Monaco stranded in the middle of the track at the fastest point in the circuit.

First it was Steven Scoble who was left with nowhere to go, his Arrow launching over Sera and rolling hard. Next, another kart collected Sera. All drivers avoided serious injury, with Scoble taken to hospital for precautionary checks as a result of a dislocated shoulder.

JUNIOR NATIONAL LIGHT
1. #83 Matthew Brabham
2. #9 James Kovacic
3. #94 Jordan Lloyd
4. #88 Luke McCourt
5. #11 Cameron Waters

It was a three way dice for the Pre-Final win between Matthew Brabham, James Kovacic and Jordan Lloyd, how has been very impressive all weekend. Brabham took the lead late from Kovacic, setting up a great final.

CLUBMAN HEAVY
1. #45 Jason Hryniuk
2. #70 Brendan Nelson
3. #35 Jason Pringle
4. #1 Shayne Piper
5. #6 Peter Lawler

Brendan Nelson drove away from the field in the opening laps, only for Jason Hryniuk to slowly but surely edge back towards the leader and grab the win in the final couple of laps. Jason Pringle drove a lonely race in third, while Shayne Piper made a strong recovery – just as he did in Clubman Light – to get up to fourth, just ahead of team-mate and defending champ Peter Lawler.

ROOKIES
1. #7 James Hughes
2. #5 Dylan Higgins
3. #95 Adrian Lazarro
4. #99 Cameron Hill
5. #14 Jake Coleman

James Hughes took the win, but the action was in second where three karts crossed the line all side-by-side at the end of a frantic race. Dylan Higgins grabbed second ahead of Adrian Lazarro, Cameron Hill with Jake Coleman grabbing fifth.
