The next round of the series will be at The Bend Classic in South Australia on October 24-26.
In a Mygale, Evennett took the round honours ahead of Spectrum drivers Kobi Williams and points leader Joe Fawcett.
Evennett qualified fastest but it was Williams who took the early Race 1 lead ahead of Fawcett while Evennett was third. The safety car was out before the first lap was completed as Giuseppe Imbrogno failed to get past the start line with a fried clutch.
After the resumption, Evennett forged through to the lead before Seth Burchartz, Jack Pennacchia and Jack Johnson tangled on the main straight, opposite pit exit. Issaac Demellweek was lucky to escape being involved as he was just behind them.
After a lap and a half behind the safety car, the race concluded with Evennett first from Williams, Jamie Rowe, Fawcett, Will Lowing and Demellweek.
There was a first lap safety car in Race 2 as well. Tabitha Ambrose was turned around at Turn 3. Williams had won the start and held off Evennett after his was third early. Rowe passed Fawcett for third. Seth Burchartz spun off and hit the armco at Turn 9 which was under local yellows for the last lap.
In the feature Williams led at the start. Evennett took the lead up the back straight before Fawcett went ahead on Lap 2. Williams was back in front when the safety car came out after Lachlan Mineeff crashed and Imbrogno bunkered, both at Turn 9.
The one-lap dash to the flag that followed saw Evennett grab the lead around the outside of Turn 6. Behind Williams came Fawcett, Lowing, Rowe, Demellweek and Johnson.
In the Kent class, Richard Davison pipped Andrew Torti in Race 3. Torti had earlier the first two races, but Davison’s two seconds and the feature race win was enough to secure the round.
Round 5 of the Australian Formula Fords heads to South Australia at The Bend Nationals on September 19-21.
