King Of the Hill – Sunday Juniors

by Troy Thompson

With the Seniors having raced Saturday, Sunday was for the Cadets and Juniors at the 8^th annual Arise Racing King of the Hill.

Cadet 9

A good field of 17 Cadet 9’s took the green lights and was won by Nash Ferraro with 3 wins & a third over State Champ Jackson Mitchell-Rosenauer and a rapidly improving rookie by the name of Zane Rhodes took a great third place overall in his Arrow.

Cadet 12

A massive field of 26 Cadet 12’s made for some awesome racing. Luca Nici took the win in his Ricciardo Kart over B-Sports Caleb Sumich and James Micucci-Allen having one of his best results since graduating from Cadet 9’s with a solid third place.

KA4 Junior Light

Mason Harvey in his Deadly Kart survived the biff & barge and took the win over Cody Leunen. Riley Trager took a fine third place with a consistent drive.

KA4 Junior Heavy

A small field of heavies was dominated by little(?) Jacob De Cerqueira from local legend Taj Thomas who got his first open podium and a very fast young lady Imogen Vince getting the bronze.

KA3 Junior

A small field of KA3’s put on the best race of the day. In race 2 the top 4 swapped positions consistently with Flynn Thompson taking the win. Thompson in his Exprit went on to win the meeting over Formula Ford pilot Jake Saywer and Italkart’s Chase Hoy in third.

Vintage

A big, beautiful field of vintage karts put on an awesome display for the senses; the sights, sounds and smell had everyone at the fence drooling. The attention to detail by the owners is an absolute credit to them.
