The new carby Session/qualifying format worked really well with 4 minute sessions first thing Sunday morning determining grid positions.
Biggest mention goes to Kelsey Sapwell #9 for her amazing drive from the random grid draw 14 in the 25 lap Young Guns feature to take the win in front of all the boys. She pushed hard all race long from well down the field. With 10 laps to go she was tagging onto the back of the front three and picked them off one by one, leading the last 3 laps in front of 2nd Jobe Simms #97 and 3rd Keenan Slater #68.

Above: Clubman Light as usual saw Nathan Zuj #74 driving away from the field all weekend, until the final saw him come under the first bit of pressure he's seen in a while. However, Callum Mitchell #88 just didnt quite have the legs to make it stick.

Above: The Rookies showed us some great racing with Ryan Mayher #4 showing off his pace after making the move from Midgets this year. He raced hard and gave it all he had, but it was the man in kart #7, Alex Peroni, who would take the win over Mayher and Jonah Slater #67.
