The competition was always going to be tough with some strong contenders returning to the field this year. With only 14 rounds in 2019 it is important to maintain consistency and maximise points where possible.

As always there was action on track which resulted in shunts and knocks for all three drivers but only one of these collisions resulted in a DNF and that was for #3 Mike Schlup in the JLM car in race 2 on Sunday. The crew got their tools out and did a great job with repairs to enable him to take to the track for race 3.

All drivers narrowly missed a huge crash which brought out the red flag in the last race of the weekend. It happened at the first famous Paddock Hill bend on the first lap of the Final. There was a spectacular roll by Will Gibson in the #51. Everyone was delighted to see that the strong pocket rocket kept the pilot safe in his flight. 

Sunday saw John Mickel collect 3^rd place trophy overall following a list of consistent finishes in his shiny QuikSteel #4 car with 5^th, 5^th and 3^rd and on Monday an 8^th, 3^rd and 5^th to take another 3^rd place trophy for the overall points on Monday.

Paul Simmons looked fast in his newly livered #51 SP Tools/Netsense/Baleigh Industrial Legend, finishing 11^th , 6^th and 12^th  on Sunday and was awarded the Master of the Day. On Monday he placed 17^th, 8^th and despite leading the race having made his way to the front of the field, ended up taking 6^th  following some hairy racing that saw constant changes for the lead.

Mike Schlup was the dark rider in his black #3 JLM livered Legend.  Mike is the least experienced of the Mickel Motorsport drivers but still showed some great talent. He finished 16^th, one DNF and 15^th on Sunday and on Monday he finished 16^th, 17^th and 14^th.
