Jaxon Evans has levelled the points at the top of the Jim Richards Endurance Trophy standings following victory in Sunday’s race two at Sydney Motorsport Park.
Evans led from the outset of the 30 lap event, claiming a dominant five second win from race one winner, Hamish Hardeman. Jake Klarich placed third; the top three spreading out early in what was an uneventful race at the front.
Evans now sits level with Hardeman at the top of the Jim Richards Endurance Trophy standings following the latter’s endurance race victory at Winton earlier in the season.
David Ryan topped an eventful Elite Class battle for the 30 lap race; Ryan battled with Tim Miles for much of the race until Miles ran wide at turn two mid-race, dropping down the order.
Meanwhile Anthony Gilbertson and Jim Campbell came together at turn two, resulting in Campbell’s car being catapulted into the air, the contact and landing causing race ending damage to Campbell’s while Gilbertson continued with front-end damage.
John Morriss held a consistent race to place fifth from Miles, Sam Shahin, Brian Finn, Ross McGregor, Gilbertson and Class B race winner in 11th.
