Jack Gilbert also rode well in this class and has been riding well all year.

Josh Dominello, competing in his first Australian Titles, tried hard and enjoyed every minute of the weekend.

Thomas Duggan and Zach Cook took second and third podium spots in the 65cc 9-under 11 Years class.

Thomas has been in form of late and riding like a champion and Zach is gradually creeping up to the top podium spot.

Ben Cook rode like a true champion in the 85cc 2 Stroke/150cc 4 Stroke 11-under 13 Years class and looked to be the early favourite for the finals.

With some hard fought racing in the heat of the day, Ben was placed second in the Championship.

Unfortunately Ben was unable to compete in the 65cc 9-under 13 Class to defend his title win from last year due to mechanical problems.

Brady Kurtz has just stepped up with the big boys into the 13-under 16 Years division in the 85cc 2 Stroke/150cc 4 Stroke class.

The racing was fast and furious and Brady proved he was up to the task and finished second in the Championship behind 15-year-old Brisbane hotshot, Robbie Menzie Sargent.

Brady also made the big move up into the 250cc 4 Stroke 13-under 16 Years class where he held his own against the best junior riders in Australia and finished a creditable seventh after some big crashes in the three finals.

Larz Burke was right in the thick of things in the 250cc 4 Stroke Class on his new Suzuki until being involved in an accident in the third final which destroyed his chances of taking a podium spot, but he will be a real handful next season and should be on the podium in the near future.

Izaak Ticehurst had his first big meeting in the premier 250cc 4 Stroke class and proved he can mix it with the best of them. Izaak will be a force to be reckoned with next year.

Billy Dawes battled it out throughout the rounds in the 80cc 4 Stroke 11-under 14 Years and his efforts paid off with a third place podium spot. Billy had bad luck in his other class, the 85cc 2 Stroke/150cc 4 Stroke Big Wheels 11-under 13 Years class which left him short of points to make the finals.

Jack Gee, Kelsey Pollard and Isaak Dawes thrilled the crowd as usual in the 50cc Auto Demo class when the ACT club decided to put 20 riders on the track at the one time.
