PALMERSTON NORTH SCHOOLS DOMINATE KARTSPORT CHAMPS IN TARANAKI

Palmerston North schools dominated this year's Todd Energy-sponsored KartSport New Zealand National Schools' Championships in Taranaki over the weekend.

In the Secondary Schools' section students Jacob Cranston and Tom Greig gave their school, Palmerston North Boys' High School, a record-extending fifth title in 12 years. Jackson Rooney and Louis Redshaw, meanwhile, won the Primary/Intermediate/category on behalf of their school, Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School.

Jacob Cranston was one of two heat winners in the 125cc Rotax Max Light class, eventually finishing second in class to long-time rival Dylan Drysdale. One of a small number of drivers contesting two classes at the meeting, Tom Greig finished third in Formula Junior and fourth in Junior 100cc Yamaha.

In the Primary/Intermediate category Jackson Rooney and Louis Redshaw both contested the Vortex Mini ROK class with Rooney finishing third overall and Redshaw tenth.

Individual class titles went to Dylan Drysdale (Palmerston North, 125cc Rotax Max Light), Kaleb Ngatoa (Palmerston North, Formula Junior), Ryan Wood (Wellington, Junior 100cc Yamaha), Thomas Boniface (New Plymouth, Vortex Mini ROK), and Logan Manson (Auckland, Cadet ROK).

This year the Bruce McLaren KartSport awards (for the winners of the two Junior or Senior classes with the most entries) went to Kaleb Ngatoa and Ryan Wood.
