Some of my favourites:
Reif Corbett v's Christian Jones in JNL at the Bolivar Nationals in.. would have been early 90's :)
Matt Wall driving from the back of the grid at the Geelong Nationals in Senior National, on a wet wet wet track.
Junior Street Race at the Adelaide Formula 1 GP on Bartel's Road. IIRC Jamie Whincup won Rookies, would have been about 1995 I think :) After the meeting Rubens Baricello came down and thrashed a kart around the track :D
One thing I never forgot was the fight in Clubman at the Puka Nationals. I think it was Hynrik and Patrizi? I am not 100% sure.
also at that same meeting...the unforgettable moment when adam graham mounted james seras kart going around the last corner last lap in the final of CL..
last year QLD states shannon tried to hit that kid and fell over !!!!! LOL

oh yer i remember that i think that was whitley???
also at pucka, first year of the leopard final... matt wall is leading with about 3 laps to go, james sera is catching fast, and has MASSIVE top end... his kart is only average everywhere else though. wall-e takes a super tight line in the sweeper off the straight each lap, blocking the passing move, and pretty easily holds his position for the rest of the lap. with one lap to go, james knows the ONLY place he can pass wall-e is at the end of the straight, and he knows wall-e will drive it tight...
... so he goes in, full-throttle no brakes and lays a pass for the lead around the OUTSIDE. it was mad!
credit to wall-e, who could have easily unloaded james something massive on the switchback, he gave him plenty of room and james went on to win the car.
The Nationals at Kalgoorlie in 1999, Tyson Pearce Vs. Ryan Farrell...
These two battled the whole race, Tyson in a 135cc Komet, I think ? Ryan in a 200 super,(sponsored by Coke).
Due to the fairly tight nature of the Kalgoorlie track Tyson was much, much faster through the turns whilst the 200 had the legs down the straight. Tyson was stuck behind for the whole race and had tried every passing move in the book,,, but could make nothing stick, mostly due to the defensive driving etc. by Ryan.
Everyone knew that something was brewing and it was all going to happen on the last lap.....
Sure enough coming into the last corner of the last lap, an almost flat out flip/flop, Tyson makes the move,, hitting the kerb and launching over the front of Ryan's kart, sailing over the track, taking them both out before the finish.
When the karts entered the in-grid, the whole crowd, everyone from the pits, even the drivers and crew waiting to go out for the next race were all waiting to see what was going to happen,,, everyone was converged around the in-grid and the meeting was at a standstill, Then the whole crowd started to chant, Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi.....
In the end nothing eventuated, but I've never seen anything like that at a kart meeting to this day !
Bolivar Nationals in 2006 I think?
Formula 100 Barclay Holden and Glen Powels. Both running trulli karts they had battled all race then second last corner Powles went for a move, contact was made and both crashed out.
Wally then came from no where to take the win.
thats funny as (pepsi pepsi pepsi)
