Senior MAX & Junior MAX

The best races of the day were however three fraught Senior and Junior Max races. Three second places were good enough for Tate Bishop to sneak the overall Rotax Senior win for the day after SupaCup rival Charl Visser won two heats and ended third in the third, and Luca Wehrli took race 2. Storm Lanfear ended fourth after a wild Senior day from Ethan Deacon and Jude Stuart.

Keagan Beaumont’s two second places were good enough to give him the Rotax high school Junior Max win for the day after he, second overall Jordon Wadeley and third lad Sebastiano Human shared out the wins. Nicholas Lennox, Matthew Carter and Anwill April were the best of the rest.
