Todd Kurtz

Aussie Under 21 Championship

Darcy Ward won the Australian Under 21 Title for the third year running at a
North Brisbane meeting that defied all odds in getting it under way. Days of
storms and torrential rain right up until five hours before the meeting only
served to make the track such that Ward smashed the track record in the opening
race. From that point on, the writing was on the wall and Ward made it look so
easy, even when coming from behind. Second home in the final was Richard
Sweetman, with Josh Grajczonek third and surprise packet Micky Dyer fourth. Dyer
won the B Final ahead of Justin Sedgmen, Taylor Poole and Todd Kurtz. Grajczonek
bounced back from a fall in his second heat when Dennis tried to dive under him
in the final bend. Both came down and the race was awarded. North crashed
heavily in his second outing when he ran off the unfenced top bend and struck a
tractor tyre marker. He was able to take further part.

Arthur Sissis retained his Australian 350cc crown, leading home Tyson Snow and
Jack Holder. Cameron Heeps did not finish. Holder won the B Final over Harley
Brigden, Jake Allen and Jordan Dall.

Qld U-21 Champion Kyle Newman, snubbed by MA Commission for the title, made a
3600km round trip from Townsville via inland Qld just to ride in the supports.
He duly won their final. What a great attitude this lad, who resides in Qld for
3 months of the year, has.
