Two Australian Juniors were up against a barrage of New Zealanders in the Junior Max Top 5 Shootout this afternoon, at Round 4 of the Rotax Pro Tour in Coffs Harbour, however it was Queenslander Broc Feeney who overcame the challenge to set the pole time.
The 14-year-old Queenslander had a nervous wait while Upper Hut (NZ) racer, Ryan Wood was the last driver against the clock. Wood managed third quickest from his time against the clock leaving the front row lockout for ‘Team Australia’ and last round winner, Harrison Hoey. Starting fourth in tomorrow’s heats will be round two winner, Rianna O’Meara-Hunt and Samuel Wright completed the top five.
DD2 Masters is shaping as a titanic battle between the two drivers that raced off for last round’s race win. Last round winner, Troy Woolston stole the pole position from Kris Walton after the chequered flag – in a similar fashion to how he took the win at Ipswich just a few weeks ago.
Wollongong based racer, Cody Gillis edged experienced Queenslander, Ryan Kennedy in the DD2 category for the pole position. Josh Drysdale will line up in position three with Nathan Tigani from four – disappointed in his performance but aiming for more tomorrow.
The Rotax Heavy points leader Chris Farkas continued his run from an Ipswich win to set pole position from New South Welshman, Zac van Leeuwestyn – who managed to split Farkas and Rotax Heavy combatant, Kris Walton.
Bradley Jenner is aiming for three from four round victories this weekend in Rotax Light and the chase started well with pole in the category. He will have Queenslander, Ben Jurczak line up alongside with Cameron Longmore and Rhys Astley on the second row.
