Local Drivers Lead The Way In Qualifying At Victorian Karting Championships

12 February 2010

Victorian drivers used their local knowledge to their advantage on qualifying day at the 2010 Victorian Karting Championships being hosted by the Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club in Melbourne, Victoria.

Adam Hughes led the charge for the local competitors by setting the pace in both the 125cc Leopard Light and 100cc Clubman Light categories.

Hughes was a class above the field in the Leopard Light category aboard his Melbourne Kart Centre Kosmic kart posting a time almost half a second faster than his nearest rival James Sera.

In Clubman Light Hughes also finished on top of the timing sheets ahead of a Sera with a time of 41.249 seconds, however, this time it was Sera’s younger cousin David, who is the reigning national champion in the category. James Sera qualified third fastest in his Azzurro kart with a time of 41.501 seconds ahead of Chris Hays, who is making debut in the senior ranks, in his Vodafone-backed Tony Kart.

“It is a great way to start the weekend, I’ve probably done more laps around this place than anyone else in the past few years but in saying that both James and David have also done thousands of laps around here during their career,” said 21 year-old Hughes.

“About two years ago I found a sweet spot in the set-up of my Kosmic kart, ironically it was with the help of James (Sera) when he was my team-mate, and since then I very rarely change much from track to track.

“I’m a little bit surprised by the margin between myself and second fastest, the focus now is to finish the job off over the weekend.

“Last year I won Leopard Light and finished second in Clubman Light, it would be nice to get the double this year.”

David Sera went one better in the 125cc Rotax Light category to set the pace aboard his Australian made Arrow kart ahead of team-mate Shane Price and rising star Josh DeMaio.

Sydney’s Jason Hryniuk paced the highly competitive Clubman Heavy field ahead of good friend and reigning national champion Matthew Wall. Monaco pilot Daniel Baker was third fatest ahead of local driver Michael Griffiths.

Interstate competitors showed the way around the 860-metre circuit in the Junior Clubman category with Adelaide’s Todd Hazelwood posting the fastest time ahead of Sydney’s Joseph Mawson and Queenslander Lucas Ward.

The opening round of heats will be contested this afternoon with racing continuing tomorrow and the championship finals to be contested on Sunday.
