EASTLAND Kart Club’s decision to go ahead with the club championships on Sunday paid off.

Committee members met at the track on Sunday morning, in view of the rain that had fallen on Saturday and early on Sunday.

They decided to run the meeting, but pushed the start time from 10am to 12 midday.

This proved to be a great call as the rain cleared and the track had plenty of drive.

The rain went deep into the dirt and made for some of the best racing seen in years. The track got a watering during the break after two rounds.

In the rookies class, Conrad Gooch had three wins and Nixon Gooch, three second placings.

In the young guns class, Vinzent MacGregor grabbed all three wins by huge margins.

Brodie Gooch had three seconds while third placings went to Ella Nicholson (2) and Logan Irvine.
