Queenslander Brent Reading proved too good for his opposition at the Australian Kart Masters, honouring Ian Brown, to claim the Australian KA3 Masters Title in Coffs Harbour on the weekend.
Reading was joined on the front row for the final by five-time Australian Champion Kip Foster for the start of the final following a strong performance by the pair during the heat races.
Kris Walton emerged as the leader on the opening lap with Matthew Waters and Leigh Nicolaou for company. As the race wore on, the trio were no match for the pace for Reading who, after moving into the lead before mid race, showed superior speed to claim the victory.
Waters had an unchallenged run to the runner-up placing while Nicolaou drew clear of Walton for third. Late in the race, Walton was engaged in a three-way battle with Foster and Nick Percat with Foster eventually gaining the upper hand to finish fourth ahead of Percat and Walton.
North Queenslander Nathan Mills was seventh ahead of the hard charging Reif Corbett who started outside the top 20 in the final. Sam Houston and Steve Scoble rounded out the top 10.
