Lowing led Race 3 from lights to flag to take his first Australian Formula Ford Championship win.
Jamie Rowe caught the leader in the closing laps, but was forced to settle for second by just 0.8s, with Burchartz coming home in third.
Hunter Salvatore held onto fourth despite a high speed off-track excursion at Turn 1 in the early laps, while Sam March rounded out the top five.
Isaac Demellweek pushed hard for the lead in the first half of the race, until electrical issues saw him tumble down the order, forced to the grass while trying to restart his car.
Demellweek plummeted to the rear of the field, limping home in 15th place.
Triple Eight junior Oli Wickham uncharacteristically struggled for outright pace, settling for seventh place.
Take the short survey.
Burchartz stole the win from Lowing on the final lap of Race 4, taking victory by just 0.05s at the line.
Rowe held on to third place, ahead of Mineeff, with March rounding out the top five.
Dramas continued for Demellweek, with the safety car deployed to recover his stricken machine at the Turn 8 hairpin after an issue brought him to a halt, having race back up into the top 10 on Lap 1.
Wickham salvaged a sixth place finish with the fastest lap of the race, minimising the loss of points from a less competitive Saturday after two podium finishes on Friday night.
Legend Cars Australia
Dylan Thomas took out Race 4 in a dead heat, with just 0.06s covering the top three.
Jamie Craig came home in second, narrowly ahead of Josh Benaud, with Josh Craig less than 1s behind in fourth.
Australian champion Ruben Dan rounded out the top five.
Race 5 was declared after just four laps following a multi-car incident that started when Ryan Pring made contact with Hardy Martin and spun through Turn 4.

James Parker/Daniel Jilisen came home in third in a tight battle with Jake Donaldson’s invited class Porsche 991.2 GT3 at the line, while Andrew MacPherson/Ben Porter rounded out the top five.

Emery fought back in the second enduro in the afternoon, however it was Porter and MacPherson that prevailed, taking a stunning victory by just 0.1s.
Parker/Jilisen finished third ahead of Stutterd, with Goodacre in fifth place.
This time it was Stibbs that found trouble, with steering damage sending him off the road and beached in the Turn 6 gravel.
The final IRC sprint race of the weekend was affected by bizarre circumstances.
Having been slightly delayed following the race-ending crash in the Legend Cars Australia finale, Geoff Emery spun on the formation lap with damage to the left rear suspension.
The race was then postponed to allow the TA2 Muscle Car Series finale to commence at its scheduled time.
With insufficient time left at the conclusion of the day’s racing, the final IRC race was ultimately not contested.
