Race 3

Saturday’s victor Ewen Burg didn’t make it past lap 1 with his PVP spewing water out of the rear radiator and pulling up at turn 3 on the opening lap. That left Gareth Crisp and Tim Weier to fight it out at the front, Tim made an early move slicing past Gareth into turn 2. Gareth quickly tucked into Tim’s draft and set up a braking duel down into turn 3 with Gareth coming out on top and quickly opened the gap as Tim faded away losing HP (turns out the carby boot started to split). Gareth would take a comfortable victory as Weier dropped back into the clutches of the two very fast 125s of Russell Jamiseon and Tim Philp. Tim managed to hang on to 2^nd overall but Russell Jamieson made the most of the tow provided by Tim Weier to claim a new lap record for the 125 National class of a 1:15.735 smashing his own lap record set earlier this year of a 1:16.4. A nice little bonus of $500 goes to Russell thanks to Ultimate Steel Framing for resetting the lap record.

Doug Amiss was 5^th overall smashing his own PB ahead of Lauire Fooks in 6^th and Shaun Field who in only his second race meeting is making huge leaps and bounds improving by over 4 seconds since qualifying coming home 7^th overall.

Stuart Robertson was the leading Rotax driver in 11^th overall ahead of fellow Rotax heavy driver David Dyson and Light competitor Jack Murray. Race 1 & 2 winner Tony Moit suffered a rare DNF.

Race 4

The final race of the weekend was being live streamed thanks to Hi-Tech Oils (see above). Tim and Gareth locked horns straight away with Tim trying to go down the inside into turn 3 but Tim had a moment and got the #89 Anderson GAS GAS very sideways and dropping back to 4^th overall. He quickly recovered and managed to get home second overall. Gareth Crisp was too fast and took another comfortable victory.

Russell Jamieson proved too fast for Tim Philp in the 125 National fight, Russell taking home the final spot on the podium ahead of Tim Philp in 4^th.

Doug Amiss took home a familiar 5^th place once again ahead of Laurie Fooks in 6^th. Kristian Stebbing had his best race of the weekend coming home 7^th in his 125 National. Nicholas Raymond took home 8^th ahead of Ilya Harpas in 9th who unfortunately had a weekend to forget after a double seizure Saturday he was just happy to see the checkered flag on Sunday.

Tony Moit rebounded from his DNF in Race 3 to put some serious daylight between him and the next Rotax competitor in Stuart Robertson. Tony managed his PB for the weekend with a 1:24.46 which isn’t far from the lap record. Andrew Cain was the third Rotax home ahead of Jack Murray and David Dyson.

What an awesome meeting and a great way to celebrate the club’s 50^th anniversary. Darryl Bertram was presented with a Life Membership – he is now the official 12^th Life Member of the club and very fitting given he was there for the club’s very first race meeting back in 1975 at Surfers Paradise Raceway.

A massive thanks to the committee, club members, sponsors and partners that help make this all possible!
