Race Report from Andrew Hayes
Warrnambool kart racer Dale Beaton has taken an emotional victory in the second annual Graham and Kathleen Millard Memorial race, held in varying conditions at Hamilton’s Buckley Park Raceway on Sunday, May 18.
Following on from the success of the inaugural event last year, a star studded field assembled to stake their claim on the prestigious race. Beaton looked the class of the field most of the day, his smooth and consistent driving earning him a comfortable victory at the completion of the fifteen lap final.
Over a long karting career, Beaton formed a great friendship and respect for Mr and Mrs Millard, a respect that was evident by the tears welling up in his eyes when he removed his helmet post race.
The battle for second was intense, as forty-six time state champion Remo Luciani went wheel to wheel with Portland’s Scott King. Following on from their thrilling duel in Cobden last month, it was Luciani who finally got the better of King, the battle a real treat for spectators.
Disappointment though for local star Kevin Millard, dramatically failing to start the race which bears his parents name. Millard’s kart ground to a halt just two corners from the green light, forcing him to watch his mate Beaton’s victory from the pits.
