The final round of the 2011/12 Vic DH series was run and won this weekend in Maldon at Mount Tarrengower. The final round was going to decide the Elite Mens overall winner with Tim Eaton and Connor Fearon separated by only 23 points coming into the event. After qualifying this gap was even smaller, with Tim qualifying first and Connor second, whoever took the higher place in the race would win the overall. As it turned out Rhys Atkinson took the win by 0.18 of a second with Tim Eaton second, Connor Fearon ended up crashing twice in his final run and finished tenth. In the Under 19 category Dean Lucas won by over six seconds with a time that would have placed him top five in Elite, he then raced Elite and finished in third!
