Round 4 of the KWT Maxxis series was won on Sunday by Mr Rennie, followed closely by a stacked field local riders. In other news, the race wasn't cancelled due to rain!

Local residents near the track have been known to fertilise their lawns according to the race calendar.

1. Rennie Nathan - 2:44.696
2. Moore Anthony +1.504
3. Palmer Greg Elite +1.579
