Jennacubbine Dirt Kart Club (WA) – Club Day June 23, 2018
By Brad Mitchell
Meeting number three for the year at the Jennacubbine Dirt Kart Club featured the fourth and final round of the 2018 Outlaw Shootout Series.
Sixteen of the winged 250cc monsters were on hand and provided plenty of action across the day. Despite Jennacubbine’s last meeting cancelled due to rain, mother nature smiled upon the venue this time with a stunning Winters day.
The Outlaws races were won by Ron Connor and Joel Ettridge who would each have two wins with the remaining victory going to the immaculate W3 entry of Warren Joyce. With his victory in the Final, Connor won the round from Ettridge by a mere two points with series points leader Glen Chinnery in third only a point behind.
Going into the last round with a healthy points margin Chinnery would easily win the series crown on 266, followed by Connor 209, Ettridge 207 and Craig Nelson on 153.
A staggering twenty-seven drivers contested a round or more of the series. Congratulations go the drivers and the 2018 Outlaw Shootout Series sponsors: Wheel N More, Karting Spares WA and HearthHouse Mandurah.
Tyler Mcquilkin dominated the Junior races with four wins and a second place from five starts. Lachy Horton and Thomas Palliser both finished the day locked together on 74 points in KT Light, but it was Horton who would claim the win on countback.
125 Light also finished with two drivers locked on points after their five races with Luke Nardini getting the win over Aron Sharp after both finished on 89 points. Glen Chinnery won 125 Heavy with a seven-point win over Adam Grigg.
Three points covered the top three in KT Heavy with Ray Brookes winning by a point from Jared Bevan with Matt Bain a point back in third. Bevan went one better by having an easy win in A Grade in his KT Twin powered Benson.
Midgets and Rookies completed the program with the Rookies providing plenty of action as well as a few anxious moments for some mums and dads.
The next meeting at the Jennacubbine Dirt Kart Club is a club day set down for Saturday July 28 and an Education Day on Sunday July 29.
