<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Tasmanian</strong> <strong>Kart</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Titles</strong><br />
Tasmania’s weather turned it on for the annual S.T.K.C club title at AWC Raceway, Hobart.<br />
Perfect conditions for racing, on a gripping track and in the wonderful <strong>Tasmanian</strong> countryside<br />
provided fantastic racing from a quality field. Including a special appearance from current<br />
Formula 3 R-Tek racer Josh Burdon, who returned to his home club to support their club<br />
titles and keep himself race fit prior to the next championship rounds at Phillip Island and the<br />
finale in Tasmania Symmon’s Plains.<br />

Dedicated karters travelling from around the <strong>Tasmanian</strong> state to attend this event and race in<br />
a fast and furious day of wonderful competition. With a great vibe around the paddock and<br />
titles up for grabs.<br />
The fun began with the Cadets class, local karter Brock Lamont was a favourite after a good<br />
result in the previous Rising Stars meeting, but a spin early in the final and then a fantastic<br />
recovery drive through the field to finish just behind Red plate-holder Brock Evans who easily<br />
took the round and title. Lachlan Dalton finished a close third after holding second for most of<br />
the final.<br />
The Rookie field was a great battle between Jonah Slater, Sam Gala and Zevie Eisentraut. A<br />
fantastic battle over the day between the trio and the fight between Slater and Eisentraut in<br />
the final was the drive of the day. With no quarter asked or given, both swapping the lead<br />
with Lauchie Newman shadowing close behind. With five lead changes in the last three laps,<br />
Zevie Eisentraut raced to the title to back up his victory in Launceston last month.

Junior National Light showed that Tasmania has a great future with Bodie Reading just<br />
besting Wade McLean and Zac Vassallo in a close fought final. Wade having show fantastic<br />
pace all weekend in his Wylie Tiles sponsored Tony <strong>Kart</strong>.<br />
Junior National Heavy went to Daniel Newman from Tassie Rising Star Alistair Lee and<br />
Thomas Clarke with special mention to Zhane Ripper who had mixed it with the boys all day<br />
in her Moonah Auto Part Recyclers Arrow; until an off after the heats stopped her chance of<br />
the title.<br />
Fujutsu Cool driver Brody Appleby took out Junior <strong>Club</strong>man after the long journey south, with<br />
Nicky Richard and Alistair Lee collecting podium places at the flag. This bodes well for Brody<br />
in the forth coming <strong>Tasmanian</strong> State titles in Launceston in November as he find his karting<br />
form in his Tasman Metal Industries, 47 engines Tony kart.<br />

<strong>Club</strong>man Light had a special racer in the R-Tek Formula Three driver Josh Burdon competing<br />
at his home club and Australia's most southerly track. Josh showed great speed all day and<br />
showed great interest in all the younger drivers who came to speak to the amiable racer –<br />
passing out tips on racing and stickers to his young supporters. Josh had constant attention<br />
off and on the track, but with a couple of off’s over the day spoilt his chances of another title.<br />
Josh was very enthusiastic about being back in a kart and hopes to show to his supporters
that there are more wins in F3 before the end of the season. Local ace Luke Sapwell took the<br />
final from Evan Livingston and Nathan Zuj.<br />
Steve Crocker again dominated Over 40’s Pro with Shane Burdon on his tail in the final; Glen<br />
Newman took out the final podium place. Glenn Angel ran well all day to take a deserved title<br />
in Over 40’s Super Heavy.<br />
