Ian McGrory won the feature race for adults at Eastland Kart Club’s seventh points meeting of the season.

Twelve drivers contested the feature race, which was held over 12 laps at the end of Sunday’s meeting.

The race included a shorter, “joker” lap, to be taken when drivers chose, so timing could be crucial.

Feature winner McGrory also had the fastest lap of the day (21.910s), while the fastest joker lap was recorded by Mike Vita (20.415s).

Runner-up in the feature race was Shaun Barwick, third was Shane Murrell, fourth was Daniel Taylor and fifth, Vita.

Rookies and juniors raced together over eight laps – with no joker – in the kids’ feature. Asha Hughes won the race, passing Kolten Irvine in lapped traffic with two laps to go.

Irvine was second, Asher Davis third, Lennox McIndoe fourth and Chloe Hughes fifth.

In the adult groups, drivers had four races, during which they competed against every other driver at some stage.

Bill Mooney and McGrory had two wins each and Harley Davis, Jack Jobberns, Evan Mooney and Vita had a win apiece.

Barwick had three second placings, McGrory two and Taylor, Murrell and Mooney one second placing each.

Murrell had three third placings, Tessa Irvine two and Jobberns, Taylor and Vita one third placing each.
