Young gun Lee Aylett powered to an impressive win in the Mt Barker Super Sedan Classic at Les Gorman Park last Saturday.

The event doubled as a round of the WA Super Sedan Summer Series and Lee Aylett was in superb form, winning all three of his qualifying heats to start on the front row of the 20-lap feature race.

In the final, Lee Aylett had a terrific battle with State champion Gary Higgs before the latter spun while running in second place and went to the rear of the field.
