Hello and
welcome back to Kingston Park Raceway for Friday Night Challenge. For week 43
we saw 12 drivers make their way down to the Lemans track for the next round in
Friday Night Challenge. Majority of the drivers were new and a few regular
drivers. The nights races kicked off with the drivers being split into 2
groups for the practice rounds so the drivers can get a feel for the karts and
the track. With the practice race, out of the way it is now time to kick off
the main heats of the night. With the 2 groups warmed up and ready to go the
night was underway, with all drivers fighting hard on track to earn the right
to be in top 6 positions for the semi-finals. From the top 6 drivers in each
semi-final group only 3 drivers from each group will make it into the super
final to race for the champions trophy.
Throughout
the first 3 races it seemed to be Michael Ha dominating the track again this
week. Corey Batrachnjko and Lewis Barry were hot on his heels. The 3 races were
fast becoming a battle between the 3 drivers all wanting that pole position.
The
semi-finals got underway with the top 8 drivers from group on points resume the
battle for the top 6 positions available for the super final.
From the semi-finals, the top 6 drivers in the super final
were Michael Ha, Lewis Barry, Corey Batrachnjko, Matthew Wintersgill, Jay
Harvey and Nathan Batrachenko. As the drivers finished the safety briefing for
the final race, it was time to get the main event under way. All of the drivers
switched from being laid back and joking around to competitive mode for the big
race. Who will be crown another Friday Night Challenge winner? Its time to go
and the drivers headed out on their pace kart lap. The pace kart peeled back
into pit lane and it was time to begin the gentle rolling start up to the
start/ finish line. The lights went green and we are underway. From the jump,
all of the drivers were fairly even with everyone that was racing are bumper to
bumper. With all the drivers completely bunched up there wasnt much room for
overtaking opportunities. At turn 4 Ha showed his experience to open up a gap
over the other drivers. Batrachenko lined up next to Harvey down the main
straight to take the racing line around turn 1 and move up to 5th
place. Lap 2 saw Ha set the fastest lap of the night with a 62.138 and
Batrachnjko dived up the inside of Barry at turn 8. While the battle for 2nd
place was going on Batrachenko moved passed Wintersgill to close in on Barry
and Batrachnjko. Ha was pushing hard by doing consistent low 62 second laps but
couldnt break into the 61 second lap. Down the main straight Barry lined up
next to Batrachnjko to take in the inside line around turn 1 on lap 5. While
the battle for 2nd place continued Ha kept stretching his lead and
on lap 6 he finally cracked into the 61s.

1st Michael Ha (61.830)
