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.
