runner-up in the remaining race – to finish on top and nine points clear of Motupiko’s Owen Ellis. Third in this class was Palmerston’s Lachlan Clearwater. Pahiatua’s Maz Parkes won the 6-8 years’ 50cc class after winning four out of his five races. It was one bad race each which settled the issue between Aria’s Luke Riley and Herne Bay’s Jack Ellingham – both battling for the runner-up spot. Riley scored a win and twice finished runner-up, with Ellingham runner-up on three occasions, but they each suffered a disastrous 18th place finish over the weekend and this meant Riley eventually claimed the No.2 spot from Ellingham by just five points.
