Launceston's Jamie Bricknell made a welcome return to kart racing on the weekend when he claimed the win in the TaG 125 Heavy class at the Launceston Kart Club's TaG feature meeting.
In front of a healthy crowd and wonderful weather, Bricknell got the early jump on reigning state champion Troy Stone and was never really challenged for the win in the 18 lap final. Third also went to another LKC member in Dillon Van Galen who battled his way through the pack to finish on the podium.

In the TaG 125 Light Feature, Spreyton’s Brody Appleby fought off a determined field to claim the win. In the final he had to battle early with Launceston’s Alastair Lee and later with the hard charging Sam Jackson from the Southern Tasmanian Kart Club.
Appleby was able to keep his composure and held on for the victory after both Lee and Jackson crashed out with Jordan Distill and Mitchell Lovell picking up the pieces to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively.
In other races on the day, young Launceston driver Emilie Williams collected her first open race meeting win when she beat the boys in Cadet 12. The final was the race of the day with some great driving by the whole field. Launceston’s William Blair and Hobart’s Xavier Renshaw both had turns at the head of the freight train, but a late race tangle cost the two dearly and Williams, who had been setting the fastest lap times in fourth, jumped at the opportunity and took the win ahead of another two Launceston Kart Club members in Jake Delphin and Ollie Richardson.

Keenan Slater swept the races in KA3 Senior Light with brother Johnah unable to match his older brother's pace. Third went to the improving Ellis Dickenson.
Tim Hinds battled hard all day to take the top spot in KA4 Masters after local gun Kerry Beechey claimed his first ever “quick time” in qualifying. Scott Wrigley dominated KA4 Masters Heavy yet again and battled with the lights for most of the day.

TaG Restricted was won by Andrew Lee in Light and the returning Danial Hinds had a day out in Heavy winning all races on offer. KA3 Juniors saw some pretty close racing with reigning state champ Tate Frost taking the win ahead of Mitchell Kerrison and Lochie Dalton.
Ethan Wyllie took three of the four wins in KA4 Junior Light with Fletcher Bellars and Logan Dixon rounding out the podium. Kiana Toon dominated KA4 Junior Heavy winning the final from Louis Popowski.
