The RDD Team covered the Mini Max field as Logan Sargeant, up from an amazing Rotax Micro Max season, joined older brother Dalton and cousin Garrett. The trio had pace throughout practice with Dalton showing the way by taking pole, with Logan in third and Garett crossing in fourth. In heat one the drivers would hold station as Dalton took the win, Logan finished in P3 with Garett on his bumper in fourth. The prefinal would be a carbon copy of the heat and qualifying as the trio kept their noses clear and maintain their order in the finish.

For the final the action would heat up as the RDD drivers looked to podium. At the finish it was Dalton with a big win crossing the line well ahead of the pack, which had battled hard all race long. Logan was able to shake himself clear the action having fell to fourth then moving back up to finish second. Contact off the start would move Garrett back in the field and he would battle back to finish fifth at the stripe.

In Rotax Junior Max Sebastian Ordonez ran a solid weekend aboard his Kart Mini M2 chassis. Ordonez would grab P2 in the qualifying and back that up with a second place finish in the heat race. In the prefinal Ordonez would battle for position and take the win to grab pole for the final. In the final the action would turn up a notch as several drivers look to lead the field. Ordonez was able to run clean and clear his way to the front taking the win after a solid battle throughout the race.
