Hang on we hear you say, race 4? You just put up race 5 the other day…! Well after some rather inclement weather RoundA� 4 was postponed until after round 5, make sense?! When we heard that Matt Bird Photography would be heading out to the race we threw down a challenge for them, shoot the race on film! So all the warm images you see are from the ‘by-gone’ era of film!

Ah the warm glow of film! Will Badger bursts out of this corner.

Conditions weren’t dry and dusty but they were a big improvement from the weekend the race was cancelled. Pretty standard track at Fox – Pattos Curse for this round, it has some real off camber sections, some really good turns and a big jump into the finish area.

Keeping warm was the name of the game!

The future of the sport, the Under 19 racers, fought it out with the victory going to Matt Taylor, his time of 1.55.23 was also the second fastest time of the day, quite an impressive effort! Racing was super tight in the Elite category with the top 5 separated by less than 1.5 seconds! In the end it was Angus Maddern, who has recently returned from Canada including racing the Mont Sainte Anne World Cup, who took the victory.

Matt Taylor took the Under 19's victory and the second fastest time of the day, super impressive!
