Houston dominates Australian Championships
16 January, 2012
Back-to-back Junior World Champion Jack Houston became the most prolific winner in the 2012 Australian Speed & Marathon Ski Racing Championships at Lake Bonney in South Australia taking four national titles across the week long event, including one behind V8 Supercar star, Todd Kelly!
Houston took victory behind his father and regular driver Greg Houston (Stinga F1), in Under 19 Boys and Social Mens and victory in the Under 19 Boys Marathon Championship behind Darren Stapleton in 'Still Sparken' before jumping on the rope behind Kelly (Mojo) and regular observer Kevin Boylan (who observed in every one of Jack's four wins) to take the win in the 8-litre engine class, that win giving Kelly his first national crown in ski racing. It wasn't as cut-and-dry as Houston's other victories, Kelly having to push hard in the closing stages to record victory by just four seconds over 'Troublemaker'.
Todd also skied in the championship event, behind father John, finishing sixth in Mens 30-40, and fifth in Unlimited Inboard..
