2009 Auckla2009 Auckland Area Schools Championships

The eighth running of the Auckland Area Schools Championships took place at Kartsport Auckland’s Pallet Company Raceway on Sunday April 19th 2009.

Albany Primary/Junior High, with Chelsea Herbert and Kaitlyn Wonnacott, successfully defended its Primary/Intermediate Teams title for the second year running while it was close fought battle in the Secondary Schools section between Rutherford College and Pukekohe High with the Rutherford team of Aaron Wilson and Samantha Lewis prevailing.

Chelsea Herbert (Albany Pri) dominated the Cadet class, winning the first four heats and with the title sewn up did not have to contest the final.  It was close racing on track with Lachlan Smith (St Pauls Pri) taking second overall from Logan Brown (Pukekohe Int) in third.

Another dominating performance came from Rutherford College’s Aaron Wilson, who also had the title sewn up after completing the first four heats.  Second place went to CJ Sinclair (Somerville Int) and third to Kaitlyn Wonnacott (Albany Junior High)

The Formula Junior heat wins were more readily shared about but it was Auckland Grammars Shaun Varney taking the 2009 title from Waiuku Colleges Shaun Morris and Pukekohe Highs Mitchell Brown.

Further domination came in the Junior Yamaha class in the form of Kings College driver Arie Hutton with a clean sweep of all five races; Hutton choosing to contest the final despite having the title won.  The minor placings were a closely fought battle with Daniel Colville (Pukekohe High) taking second from Rollo Davies (AGC Parnell) in third and Shaun Grocock (St Kentigern) in fourth.
