Max Johnson in Junior National Heavy showed great consistency and speed to finish the weekend as the class champion. Although he was disappointed with a 5th place finish in the final, his 3 wins and a second was enough to hold off the charge from National Champion Garry Jacobson who won the final.

James Hughes enjoyed the overnight break as, after two second placings on Saturday in Rookies, his team tweaked the kart and on Sunday he was unstoppable winning the final heat, Pre Final and Final. Jayden Wallis showed good speed all weekend finishing 2nd overall, while, overnight front runner Liam Morey DNF’d in the Pre-final. Although he finished 2nd in the Final, Morey only had enough points to finish 3rd on the weekend.
