As the first official day of racing got underway there was no denying the excitement of all involved. From riders to parents the buzz in the pits was evident as the first engines roared to life.
As gates dropped in the 85cc 2-stroke heat the young riders made their intent known early. The lead changed a number of times in a very competitive race which saw Alex Larwood charge to the lead and hold onto it with two laps remaining, securing top qualifying time.
“I’m so happy to get the win this morning, I just need to get past two more qualifying races and then we’ll go from there,” Larwood said.
“I was hoping to get the win, I didn’t get a good start but I got past the guys and finished the race. I’ve been trying to get the passes, get the gap and just go.
“The plan this week is I want to get a top three on both bikes and just go.”
In the final qualifying race of the morning, Jett Lawrence proved unstoppable taking out the 85cc 2-stroke 9-u12 division by 26 seconds. This was a huge margin for a ten minute moto, stamping the young rider’s presence in the competition.
