Junior Top Guns - Round 2

Damon Strongman scored himself a Formula Vee test thanks to his win in the 2011 Junior Top Guns Series at Oakleigh. Strongman dominated the Junior National Light class, winning every race across the two nights (prize sponsor JRD switched to JNL due to the low entries in Junior Clubman).

Jaidyn Job won himself a new Arrow kart while Taylor Stenner and Reece Sidebottom won mini video cameras and Jack Bentley & Christian Morina won gear bags from Concept Racegear.
