City of Melbourne titles
Belated post
This was our biggest race meeting so far with the event having over 438 entries.

Ollie had a great time racing against some of the fastest kids in Australia learning so much from the experience.

A weekend of mixed results.
Setting some good pace in timed practice but getting caught up in a few bingles on track left Ollie working his way through the huge 65 cadet 12 class with not quite enough points to make it to the final.

At such a young age we are so proud of him going into each race with confidence and not giving up until the very end.

We had a great week away with our Vic/TAS mates.

Ollie went out the gate strong and qualified 7th out of 18 karts.

Heat 1 a spark plug issue caused the kart to lose power off the start and Ollie was swamped. He quickly dropped back to 16th but made his way back to 9th over the race but a small mistake on the last lap ended up finishing the race in 11th

Heat 2
Starting out of p7 again. A bad start saw him drop back but kept pushing and worked his way back to finish in 12th

Heat 3
Starting out of p12 Ollie got a good start then narrowly avoided an incident on turn 1. Pushing forward he finished in P7

Final
Starting out of p7 with a great start Ollie moved up to 6th, before dropping back to 8th and holding on for the last lap where he was passed at the last minute to finish the day in 9th place.

Team Garwood are super proud of His efforts all day and not giving in until the end. It still amazes us what this 8 year old kid can do.

Heat 3
Combined points from both heats saw Ollie starting out of p2
