More than 100 karters ventured to Hawkes Bay to enjoy the arrival of Spring at the 53rd annual Blossom race meeting hosted by KartSport Hawkes Bay at the Carter Tyres Raceway at Roy’s Hill in Hastings.
It was a return to the calendar for the popular Blossom event after the pandemic affected 2021.
The event tested all-round driving skills with most classes taking on Saturday’s five heats racing clockwise and Sunday’s remaining five heats reversed to anti-clockwise.
Taranaki’s Jacob Bellamy led the way in Vortex ROK DVS Junior with five heat wins, including the final heat from the front row. He finished on 13 points, five ahead of fellow KartSport Taranaki peddler Jack Amon who won three heats and had four other podiums, with local karter Daniel McMillan third.
