Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 11 Journalists Share Posted December 11 Kiwi representative Sam Thornley now leads the Australasian Young Drivers Championship after a brilliant effort at Bathurst in New South Wales last night. The Canterbury-based reinsman had a second and a win to go to 43 points after four heats of the championships, eight points clear of his closest challenger Victoria’s Ewa Justice. Heading into the second night of the championships he was fifth. In the first heat last night he was second with Special Spin, behind Justice and Romero, while in the second he got the perfect trip and then took advantage of the passing lane to win with Works For Me. After winning at Menangle on the opening night of the series, fellow Kiwi Crystal Hackett could not get a second victory on her 21st birthday, with her best result being a fourth in the second heat. She is now fifth overall.
