Daniel Taylor timed his run to perfection in the feature race at the end of Eastland Kart Club’s eighth points meeting of the season.

Thirteen drivers raced for 13 laps and Taylor produced an excellent drive, picking off those ahead of him one by one.

A marble draw determined where in the field drivers started.

Runner-up Harley Davis recorded the fastest lap of the day on the new track – 22.519 seconds.

Third was Shaun Barwick, fourth Mike Vita, fifth Evan Mooney, and sixth Barry Irvine.

The all-in kids’ feature race over eight laps was won by Jose Govender for the third time this season. Kolten Irvine was second, Pyper Irvine third and Chloe Hughes fourth.

Mooney was named adult driver of the day. Juvae Govender was the kids’ driver of the day.

Timed laps at the start of the day determined who would be in Group A, for the fastest drivers, and Group B for the rest.
