April 2015 Clubday results
The first clockwise race in many years saw some cold and slippery conditions, with many karters looping it in practice.
But karts have wet tyres for a reason, and there was some fun racing to be had for those that braved the conditions.

Country Series Round 3: Warrnambool May 10
The next round of the Victorian Country Series is coming up fast.
We hope to see a strong contingent of junior and senior Ballarat karters presenting their club on Sunday May 10 at Warrnambool Kart Club.
Its a great track, and not far form home, so if you haven't considered participating in a Country series round before, its a nice place to start.
Harry's Challenge
In memory of Jason "Harry" Harrison's hard work in getting the track to run reverse, and his commitment to junior classes, we will be running a mini championship at each clockwise club day starting on April 26.
Class: Junior National Pro
Laps: 12 heats, 15 Final
Rnd 1: April Club day
Rnd 2: August Club day
Rnd 3: October Club day
Points: 401 system
The winner over the 3 events will get their name on the inaugural Jason Harrison memorial shield.
Juniors wanting to compete can still compete in their normal junior light/heavy class as well.
2015 AUSTRANS Country Series Round 2: Its off to Wimmera we go
