The Victorian State Champs were held at Narbethong, on a track that was over five minutes long! A quailty field battled it out for the win, in the end Kovarik Racing swept the Elite podium but neither Chris Kovarik or Claire Buchar could be crowned champions as they don’t live in Victoria!

It also has live music at night, camping and what not but it is the downhill we are interested in. The track itself is quiteA�short, under 1.20 for the fastest riders but with $2000 up for grabs for first place a lot of riders were looking to take care of business!

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.
