Mackay's May Races


from Dave Sturgeon 25 May 2016

The Mackay Club held its May race meeting on Saturday 21 May with 26 drivers in attendance. The weather looked threating but thankfully we only received a passing shower making for slippery conditions for the senior drivers on track at the time.  The track dried up quickly and the rest of the day saw good times for all classes. 

Good to see numbers up a little on last month, but we still have a ways to go to get back to the big fields we have had in the past.

Our biggest classes were the Cadet 12 and KA4 Junior Light categories, which is good so long as we can retain these drivers.

Cadet 12 was dominated by young Dylan Le Garde, but Keelan O’Brien was right there with him in most of the heats.  Keelan even managed to catch and pass Dylan in the last 2 laps of the final. It was great to watch, with both drivers keeping it clean all day.

Dylan’s big brother Riley was the eventual winner of the KA4 Junior Light class, but he had to work for the win, with Jayden Muir and Nicholas Garioch both keeping Riley honest throughout the heats. In the end Riley was just 1 point ahead of Jayden, with Nicholas home for 3rd.  

Numbers in our senior classes are still low, which is unfortunate. Hopefully we can address this with our upcoming “come and try day” where we hope to grow our membership numbers.
