Rohan Tungate is the 2018 Australian Senior Solo Speedway Champion after finishing in second position at the final round of the championship, Gillman Speedway South Australia on January 14.
Heading into the final round of the championship, Tungate and Brady Kurtz were tied at 45 points apiece, meaning it was basically winner takes all at Gillman.
The pair couldn‰Ûªt be split after the heats, both finishing on 14 points, leaving the championship to be decided in the A-Final.
In the A-Final, all eyes were on the battle between Tungate and Kurtz, but it was Mildura winner, Jack Holder who went under the radar to claim the win.
Tungate managed second, but that was enough with Kurtz finishing fourth and that handed Tungate a two point overall championship lead.
The newest Australian Champion, Tungate was stoked and couldn‰Ûªt quite believe it just yet.
‰ÛÏI feel awesome, I don‰Ûªt think it has actually sunk in yet but we will have a party tonight to celebrate,‰Û
