bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup Race One
A false start forced riders to return to the grid for a shortened five-lap race to kick off the first race of the year for bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup competitors. After the field of 15 riders came around to start lap two, Hunter Corney led Hunter Charlett and Rossi McAdam.
Nikolas Lazos worked his way up to third place and Ethan Johnson up to second as they started the last lap trying to chase down Hunter Corney.
Corney, though, had a handy buffer over his pursuers and was unchallenged over that final lap on his way to the flag, taking the victory by almost two seconds.
Ethan Johnson took second place by a nose in front of Nikolas Lazos. Hunter Charlett was fourth, while Rossi McAdam and Connor Lewis completed that group well ahead of seventh-placed, Elijah Andrew.
Eighth-placed, Phoenix O’Brien, was a further 24-seconds behind. The back half of the field was quite spread out by the flag, despite the short five-lap race distance.

bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup Race Two
Hunter Corney again looked the man to beat when the second six-lap contest for Oceania Junior Cup competitors kicked off the Saturday program at Sydney Motorsport Park. Hunter Charlett, Ethan Johnson, Rossi McAdam, Connor Lewis, Nikolas Lazos, and Elijah Andrew gave chase.
Corney had the pace to break away from his pursuers once again. The chasing group was down to five riders at the opening two laps, with Rossi McAdam, Hunter Charlett, Ethan Johnson, Connor Lewis, and Nikolas Lazos tussling hard over second position. Corney had an almost two-second lead over the leader of that group.
On the next lap, Hunter Charlett managed to break out of that group and started to reel in Corney as the second half of the race hotted up. That pair went side-by-side down the chute to start the penultimate lap. Connor Lewis had also stretched away from the pursuing pack and was inching closer to the leading duo as Charlett moved into the lead.
Hunter Corney hit the lead again late on the penultimate lap and was then chased down the main straight by Charlett and Lewis.
Corney, though, got a brilliant run onto the chute that was good enough to keep his pursuers at bay for the early parts of the final lap.
Little separated the leading duo around the back of the circuit, Corney still in the lead at Turn Nine, as Charlett and Lewis tucked in behind. Corney lead around the final turn, with Charlett all over the back of him, but Corney again had the speed to keep him at bay to take another victory, much to the frustration of Charlett.
Connow Lewis rounded out the podium. That trio had broken away from the rest of the group over the course of the final lap.
A further 1.5-seconds back, Rossi McAdam took fourth ahead of Nikolas Lazos and Ethan Johnson.

bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup Race Three
Connor Lewis was the early leader in the final OJC bout of the weekend ahead of Hunter Corney and Nikolas Lazos.
Hunter Corney forced his way up front and, with two laps to run, crossed the stripe alongside Rossi McAdam. That pair had a few bike lengths over Ethan Johnson and Nikolas Lazos. Elijah Andrew and Hunter Charlett were a few bike lengths further behind and had work to do over the final two laps to propel themselves forward into podium contention. Connor Lewis was not far off that battle, but went down at Turn Nine.
Hunter Corney slowed down as they started the final lap, thinking he had won the race. But there was still one lap to go! Rossi McAdam, Nikolas Lazos, Ethan Johnson, and Hunter Charlett swept past him. Corney realised his mistake by Turn Three and put his head down once again.
McAdam led the group of five around the back of the circuit and onto the chute. The riders thrusting and parrying and searching for the slipstream on the run to the flag, two-tenths covered the five as they crossed the stripe.
The photo-finish credited Charlett with the victory ahead of McAdam. Corney recovered to third, only a tenth from victory despite his premature slow-down on the final lap, preserving his round win. Lazos was fourth, and Johnson was fifth.
While Elijah Andrew lost touch with that five on the final lap, he still took sixth, more than 12-seconds ahead of seventh-placed Zane Beckinsale.
Hunter Corney bagged 68 points from the opening round to take an early six-point advantage over Hunter Charlett into round two at QLD Raceway late next month.
