In a fitting result for F100 Light, Nick Agland came from the rear of the grid in the final and got victory ahead of an incredible drive from Mark Vukusic. Anthony Mrhar also started at the rear of the field in the final and drove his #89 up to 3rd place. Michael Yeo just missed out on a podium in 4th.

Glenn Riddell was on form once again taking the win in the F100 Heavy class and was made to battle every one of the 15 laps by Ryan Aitkin who was 1.4 seconds behind him at the checkered flag. Jason Pringle got his kart dialled in well by the time the final came around and pushed his way through to 3rd just beating his team mate Aaron Rintoul in 4th.

Andrew Riddell once again showed his class taking out Clubman Light ahead of a fabulous second place for Paul Hamilton. Mathew Southwell, who was scratching his head all weekend trying to get the perfect setup, got up for third place. An unfortunate coming together between Mick Riley & Chris Sandrone took them both out of possible podium spots.

Clubman Heavy saw the Roffe/Piper show get the clean sweep. Victory in the final for Stephen Roffe was a show of skilled driving! It may have been a smaller margin but for a fabulous battle between Luke Capozza who just got second ahead of Bryce Hanson in 3rd.

Once again there were drivers from all around the country with representation from South Australia, the ACT, Victoria & New South Wales, but it was a Queenslander that took victory in the Clubman Super Heavy class. Brenden Gough had an epic battle with the Australian champion Aaron Jackson, beating him by just 0.015 of a second. Bruce Otter drove an excellent final to get 3rd.
