MATTHEW Graham won every heat and the final in this month’s Cadet class kart racing at Rowrah.
Steven Pollock also held his start position in the final to come second but Abbie Carruthers wasn’t so fortunate.
She began third but a collision on lap five dropped her to seven and she never managed to regain her position.
This allowed Tom Thickpenny to take third but this was short lived as a few laps later he was overtaken by Nathan Aston who held on to third to the line. Thickpenny was fourth.
In Mini Max the top three -Kyle Fowlie, Paul Hardy and Jordan Houghton - all held their start positions right to the end.
James Singleton had started fourth but after the first lap he had dropped to seventh but fortunately managed to regain his position through the following laps.
In the Junior TKM final Matthew Grierson started on pole but had dropped down to third after the first lap but during laps five and six he managed to snatch first from Sophie Lanc and finish under a second ahead of her.
Ross Fenty took third and Aaron Mansergh, who worked his way up from sixth, finished in fourth.
In the Biland final Luke Williams started in third but took the lead from Thomas Barrow on the second lap and managed to stay in front to take the chequered flag, breaking his own lap record in the process.
Barrow managed to stay in second and finish ahead of Tom Shipman.
Joe Riley won the Junior Rotax final after starting on pole and leading for every lap.
Ross Wylie maintained second throughout the race to finish ahead of Liam Morley.
In Junior Blue Craig Mitchell started on pole and led for every lap of the final to win by five seconds ahead of Fergus Barlow.
Barlow managed to climb nine places - including five during the first lap. He was closely followed by Steven Philip who started fifth.
In the Rotax/Blue Chris Lock started in fourth but took the lead from pole-sitter John Stewart, after the second lap.
