15th October 2009

 

 
 

Well how time flys the 09/10 season has already started.

 

Round 1, Proudly sponsored by Racegear Online was held on Saturday 10th October and what a great day it was.

 

All the kids were keen to show their new paint schemes and new race gear that had been brought during the off season. (see below)

 

   

 

   

 

 

 

Firstly welcome to our newest members.

Julie - Anne, Jeff and son Brandon Blood whom will be driving in the

120 cc Class.

Along with Olivia Stathopoulos, big sister to Kyle, both competing in the 160 cc Class and young Kim Fui Gosling running in our novice class.

Best of luck to all the new drivers for their 1st race season.

 

With a new surface on the track it was time for the kids to try it out so after some rolling laps the hot laps began.

 

Tommy Carroll, Kasey Garlick and Kym Loong Gosling whom after having stepped up from last years Novice Class showed huge ability and ran consistently with the more experience drivers like Jordyn Charge 08/09 Champion and AUS 1 Danny Carroll who was lucky enough to land a drive in the USA during the off season.

 

 

 

With a newly laid track surface,  Heat 1 saw the drivers being tested in fairly loose conditions, bringing on a couple of yellow flags.

But to each childs credit they all adapted and Danny Carroll took the first chequred flag for the season followed by Jordyn Charge and Kym Loong Gosling

What a drive from Kim Loong for his first time with the big kids.

(Well Done Mate!).

 

Danny Carroll having an awesome day took out 3 wins from 3 starts with Jordyn Charge and Jessie Garlick running a close 2nd in heats 2&3.

With the points worked out for the final it was sure to be a fast start. Danny Carroll, Jordyn Charge from row 1, Mitchell Smith and older sister Jaimie Lee from row 2, Jessie Garlick and Luke Dingley in row 3, Lachlan Morris & Kym Loong Gosling row 4 with Tommy Carroll and Kasey Garlick rounding off the field.

 

When the green flag dropped Danny got a great start followed by Jordyn Charge and Jaimie-lee.

10 laps in Danny spun and was sent rear, leaving Jordyn to lead the charge ahead of his female competitors Jamie-Lee and Jessie all 3 knowing Danny would be working his way through the field with mum and dad cheering from the side lines .

It was Jordyn who was able to take the chequred flag ahead off Jessie Garlick in second and Danny Carroll in 3rd.

Well done to all  the 120cc drivers you all did a wonderful job and as always were great to watch.

 

 

 

As per last season the 160cc class is always fantastic to watch and  seem to be get faster each and every round.

I believe that this season will not be an exception.

 

Luke Brady and Jessica Morris moved up from the 120cc class to play with the big boys.

I'm sure they found it some what faster and harder racing.

 

Daniel Burleigh proving to dad that his new car was a worth while investment took out  Heat 1 ahead of Billy Carroll who like younger brother had a fantastic day taking out heats 2&3.

Bobby Richardson showed us again that he will be up there along with Bryce and Tyler Carter in their Racetec cars.

Kyle Stathopoulos also having a great day found himself adapting quickly after learning which lines are better to take ensuring a nice even fast pace.

 

The final was sure to be hard and fast and have it all, to which it didn't disappoint.

With 5 cars retiring on the infield including Jessica Morris after her wheel came loose, Tyler Carter after a hit with the fence Billy Carroll came away with the win.

Billy leading from start to finish was followed closely by Daniel Burleigh in 2nd with Luke Brady coming home in 3rd.

Well done guys as always you amaze me with your ability and I look forward to the remaining rounds to watch the action again.

 

To our new drivers it won't be long before you are all mixing it up with your fellow drivers you all did a great job and hopefully had a ball doing it.

 

Cheers and I hope to see everyone at our first night meeting on Saturday 24th October to enjoy Round 2 of the Championships along with a fundraising sausage sizzle.
