A huge entry list of 128 riders from up and down the East Coast, including 40 from Queensland, made their way to the Australian Junior Track Championships last weekend.
With the event being held in the NSW Hunter Region at the Barleigh Ranch track, Whitsunday Dirt Riders members left on Wednesday to compete with the best in the country.
Ky Mitchell had an outstanding performance all weekend with consistent top placings through the heats in the 85cc 9 – U13 years. Some fantastic racing saw Ky come away with 3rd place in the finals - a great achievement from the young Whitsunday Dirt Rider.
Cannonvale's Tate Lambie and Kai Moran had a great weekend qualifying straight through to the finals and finishing in 5th in their respective classes the 50cc 7-U9 years and 65cc 9-U13 years.
