Garrett and Travis were right behind John up to the finish while a string of karts from P4-P14 were fighting to get on the podium.  At the finish it was John 1st, Garrett 2^nd and Travis 3^rd.

Junior 1 Briggs was won by Josh Gill and Junior 2 Briggs was won by Max Jarry.

In Mini Max Curtis Veseliniovich had pole position and he led start to finish.  Rylan Despins hung onto Curtis’s back bumper the whole race and tried to draft by Curtis on the last lap only to lose out by 0.09 seconds. By the chequer flag Curtis won the photo-finish with Rylan 2^nd and Logan McDonald 3^rd.
