Junior Clubman
10 drivers started the final round of the Junior Clubman class with #60 Cody Donald leading the way across the weekend battling it out at the front of the pack with #27 Simon Fallon, #71 Dylan Hollis and #15 Michael Clemente.
In the final Donald got out to the front but could not get away from the trailing line of karts that included Fallon, #10 Rhys Wagner, Clemente and Holli
s. Hollis showed great speed and started passing a kart each lap eventually getting to the bumper of Donald and Fallon and eventually passed them going into the final stages.
In the final laps Donald tried to get the lead back from Hollis at the left/right in front of the pit straight but could not hold the pass and ran wide into the sand for an unfortunate DNF, with Hollis getting caught up with Donald, Fallon sensed his opportunity and took the lead and went on to claim victory with Hollis 2nd and Clemente 3rd.
Overall in the State Championship the victory went to #71 Dylan Hollis 1st, #27 Simon Fallon 2nd and #34 Cooper Murray 3rd overall.
