The Slideways Open Sprint Series hit Slideways Go Karting Brisbane Eagle Farm for the very first-time last night, with a bumper field of racers turning on the action.
The event was run to the standard Sprint format, with a short qualifying session followed by three ten-minute-long races, with a random invert setting the grid for race two, with the starting order for the finale set by combined points from qualifying and the opening two heats.
