Moonshiners Run Gladstone

from Kev ‘The Noise’ Davies

What an absolute cracker of a club round at Gladstone kart club on Saturday, with 33 entries across five combined track groups. The Moonshiners Run meeting included local drivers and drivers who had travelled from Bundaberg & Cooloola Coast Kart Clubs.

Whilst the TaG classes were exciting to watch with the sheer speed of the karts around this undulating circuit, and Cadets showing great skills and speed, the most excitement came from the other three classes.

Andrew Wagner (complete with helmet mohawk!) ahead of Nathan Svensson (7) and Scott Svensson (73)

KA3 Juniors Light and Heavy giving us very competitive heat races, eventually ending up with Charlie Cronin taking the chocolates and local driver Zac “attack” Buttler having to settle for second just beating Seth Cotter who took the 3rd step of the podium.

4SS Seniors Heavy & Medium was the biggest class on track and in the Mediums no one could stay with the pace of Brendan Emzin. Benny “the bullet” Benedetto grabbed second ahead of Shaun Mann. The Heavies were dominated by Ashley Carriage, pipping Michael Bradley & Mark Rollinson to 2nd & 3rd respectively.

In the Supermaxx Mediums, Scott Svensson was too strong for Kelly-Marie & Nathan Svensson.

As usual, the best story is saved for last! We named him Super MARIO all day, but the one and only Shaune English got his first win against opposition drivers given that heat Andrew Wagner DNF in heat 1 – spoiler alert Wag’s kart did in fact let him down! But do you tell anyone that, ever?! A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN!! Such a fun class on the weekend, the Supermax had a lot of fun with Wags eventually winning the day.
