capitalised on a mistake by Trevor Roberts on the second last corner to win race 3 and combined that with second places in races two and four to be just five points behind Pegoraro as Anderson Karts dominated the opening round. Visiting Northern Ireland racer Trevor Roberts finished third for the round on his first visit to Australia with second places in races one and three and a third in the fourth race. Race one winner Warren McIlveen sits fourth in the points, slowed by a disappointing result in race three.
Best of the rest was Anton Stevens whose PVP claimed a third and a fourth over the weekend and was consistently fast near the front runners. Defending champion Sam Zavaglia has a lot of work to do to come from 40 points down and sits ninth behind Ilya Harpas and Chryss Jamieson.
Luke May and Martin Latta fought over the 250 National class all weekend, trading firsts and seconds. A third place finish in race 2 for Latta made the difference and May leads the series by two points. David Yuill leads the rest of the resurgent class competing for Australian championship status for the first time since 2006. Yuill was fast in the very wet second race on Sunday morning, finishing just behind May, well up in the top ten overall. Consistency put perenneial 250 National race Frank Giglio fourth in the points ahead of STR's Matthew Palmer, the defacto defending class champion.
Twice former 125cc champion Darren Dunn made a blitzing return to the class winnign the final race of the weekend to pull ten points clear of defending champion Steven Tamasi. Tamasi won the first race of the weekend on Saturday afternoon but Sunday saw the teenage plagued with power issues which saw him last across the line in race four. The weekend saw each race claimed by a different racer, veteran Jeff Reed won race two to be third in the points behind Tamasi while race three winner Anothony Lappas languishes seventh after a pair of reitrements slowed his weekend. Brad Stebbing and John Pellicano sit fourth and fifth.

Season Review
Former 100cc non-gearbox Superkart Champion Gary Pegoraro finally broke through to claim a round win of the Australian Superkart Championship after coming close on many occasions in the last four years. Pegoraro won the wet second race as well as the bonus point fourth race at Phillip Island and finished third in the other two races in a consistent and fast weekend. 2008 champion Darren HossackDarren Hossack
Darren Hossack, , is a multiple-championship winning Australian race car driver. Hossack currently competes in Sports Sedans and Superkarts.-Early career:...
capitalised on a mistake by Trevor Roberts on the second last corner to win race 3 and combined that with second places in races two and four to be just five points behind Pegoraro as Anderson Karts dominated the opening round. Visiting Northern Ireland racer Trevor Roberts finished third for the round on his first visit to Australia with second places in races one and three and a third in the fourth race. Race one winner Warren McIlveen sits fourth in the points, slowed by a disappointing result in race three.
Best of the rest was Anton Stevens whose PVP claimed a third and a fourth over the weekend and was consistently fast near the front runners. Defending champion Sam Zavaglia has a lot of work to do to come from 40 points down and sits ninth behind Ilya Harpas and Chryss Jamieson.
Luke May and Martin Latta fought over the 250 National class all weekend, trading firsts and seconds. A third place finish in race 2 for Latta made the difference and May leads the series by two points. David Yuill leads the rest of the resurgent class competing for Australian championship status for the first time since 2006. Yuill was fast in the very wet second race on Sunday morning, finishing just behind May, well up in the top ten overall. Consistency put perenneial 250 National race Frank Giglio fourth in the points ahead of STR's Matthew Palmer, the defacto defending class champion.
Twice former 125cc champion Darren Dunn made a blitzing return to the class winnign the final race of the weekend to pull ten points clear of defending champion Steven Tamasi. Tamasi won the first race of the weekend on Saturday afternoon but Sunday saw the teenage plagued with power issues which saw him last across the line in race four. The weekend saw each race claimed by a different racer, veteran Jeff Reed won race two to be third in the points behind Tamasi while race three winner Anothony Lappas languishes seventh after a pair of reitrements slowed his weekend. Brad Stebbing and John Pellicano sit fourth and fifth.
