The final round of the 2023 Golden Power Series was held at the Albury-Wodonga Kart Club on the 21st and 22nd of October with a big entry of over 260 drivers competing, held in overcast conditions for much of the weekend with very high humidity an extra challenge for everyone throughout much of Saturdays racing.
With the competition very close at most rounds of the series throughout the year a majority of the classes went down to the very final heat to decide the series champions.
On Saturday night the traditional end of series dinner and prize giveaway was held with over $50,000 in prizes given back to the series drivers thanks to the support of the series sponsors
Major prize winners of a brand new engine were:
Zack Thompson
Will Thompson
Erin Phillips
Angus Hall
