Provisional Australian Superkart Championship Points
from Mark Jones
Warren McIlveen in the Mac's Marine/Stockman Superkarts Stockman-Honda only took his first 2011 race victory on Sunday morning at Phillip Island, but it was the shot in the arm to pull away from Darren Hossack in the Safe Evolutions Anderson-Safe and the last two races he proved to have enough buffer to hold off the closing www.artmotorsport.com.au PVP-FPE of Anton Stevens.
It is McIlveen's eighth Australian Superkart title win and his seventh (expanding his own record) in the 250 International Class.
Luke May won seven out of seven races in the STR Truck Bodies/Dunlop Kartsport Anderson-Honda in the 250 National class. He never looked like being threatened until Dalton Rowell trimmed four seconds of his lap time in Race 3 keeping the title alive to the final race by the slimmest of margins.
Jeff Reed needed to retire in the last race and Tim Philp needed to win to deny Reed a long awaited 125 championship after being close for three years. Reed's Honda RS125 engine siezed in the Enware/The Chrome Shop Stockman as he was leaving the pits leaving Reed a nervous wait as he waited to see if Philp could beat Brad Stebbing to take the win. He could not by five seconds, leaving Reed nonetheless a deserving champion.
