Junior Top Guns Round 1

The 2019 karting season is under way and the opening round of Junior Top Guns at Oakleigh is in the books.

  • Lots of photos from last night are on the Pace Images Facebook HERE

The night attracted 104 entries, once again drivers coming from interstate (and NZ) to take part. We hear the mid-week practice day/night attracted more karts than what some clubs getting on a race day.

Despite a wet track in qualifying, the rain stayed away for the racing.
