Jmax wasn’t without its challenges with the highlight being Kiwi driver Ryan Wood putting in a superb drive in the final to finish in 5th place. Jaden Ransley & Bailey Sagaidak kept up the fight in what was a challenging weekend for them both. Sadly Bailey Douglas wasn’t able to show his true pace becoming involved in a number of on track incidents resulting in him taking no further part in the weekend.
Jack Westbury secured in 2nd place in Mini Max class showing a never-give-up attitude all weekend. Jack was the fastest kart on track in the majority of the sessions showing he has the speed to beat the best of them.

Carter Mobbs improved out of slight all weekend in his Pro Tour debut showing that all he needs is seat time and he will be on the move through the field at the next round.
The team are now looking forward to round two at Bolivar with a number of chassis adjustments to test based in the lead up to the event. IP Karting Australia would like to thank all its drivers and dealers for their performances throughout the weekend.
