Osborne & Sceats Set To Impress Again


press release 27 May 2016

Vortex category karters Clay Osborne (Vortex Mini ROK) and Liam Sceats (Cadet ROK) are set to impress again at the second round of this season's CRC Speedshow-sponsored Top Half Series at the KartSport Bay of Plenty club's Te Puke Auto Electric Raceway at Te Puke on Sunday.

The talented pair were class winners at the opening series round at Tokoroa in April, Osborne leading home fellow Hamiltonian Connor Davison in Vortex Mini ROK, and Sceats - from Auckland - taking top honours in Cadet ROK from Kaden Probst.
