Compact speedcars rock Maryborough
Posted by Danny40 on Friday, February 01 @ 09:43:31 EST (44 reads) |
|
stegs writes "Fourty two of australias best compact speedcar drivers headed north to Maryborough over the Australia day long weekend to contest the 31st australian compact speedcar championship, and the large crowed on hand over the three nights of racing were not disapointed.
After sixteen heats A1 Danny Stainer and Q4 Tony Brearley were tied on
1024 points and were set for 25 out standing laps ahead of them.
Brearley didnt have luck on his side as his swift engine went off tune
and while trying to make a pass on Peter Robothom clipped a wheel and
landed upside down into the turn two wall, amazingly this was the only
roll over for the weekend. The remaining laps saw Q85 Craig Smith and
V26 Peter Robothom hunting down Stainer but at the fall of the chequed
flag Stainer claimed yet another A1 to his name."

Matt’s Back!
Posted by ovaltrack on Tuesday, January 15 @ 11:23:21 EST (69 reads) |

Redline5 writes "Matt Turvey and the Precision Engines Team headed to Laang Speedway on Sunday December 30th for their first race meeting in 18 months after missing all of last season. Matt was debuting his brand new Precision Engines, Holden VK Commodore and his main aim for the night was to keep the car straight. Matt started his Redline #5 Commodore from position six in heat one, on a track that had just been watered. Matt struggled to adjust to the wet track and slipped back to seventh place on lap two with the car unable to hold traction. Midway through the heat, the Laang #86 car spun in turn four, leaving Matt with nowhere to go. The resulting contact damaged some panels on the left hand side, but nothing that would stop them competing for the rest of the night. Matt finished heat one in sixth position. "

Winner saves his best till last

holdensrule writes "BRISBANE'S Brodie Tulloch saved the best till last, by surprising his competition and turning on the speed in the Campbell Wrecking Sprintcar Feature on New Year's Day at Grafton Speedway.
Although Brodie won his first heat, it wasn't until starting next to race favourite Brock Dean in the feature race that he was able to stamp his authority on the night.
Brock Dean was fast earlier in the night, winning his heat, but missed the set-up for the all important feature. "

Sedan Legend Honoured with National Series Award
Posted by ovaltrack on Thursday, December 20 @ 19:11:42 EST (121 reads) |
|
 NASR/ASCF Media Release
The achievements and influence of
one of Australia’s
greatest ever speedway sedan competitors will be honoured during the 2007/2008
Carline Mufflers National Super Sedan Series. John Leslight spent more than 30
years competing in speedway sedan events across Australia, accumulating an
unprecedented record of success in a multitude of events at a myriad of race
venues in every Australian state.
A legendary figure held in high esteem
by competitors, spectators and track operators alike, Leslight retired from
competition at the conclusion of the 2006/2007 season, drawing the curtain on
one of the most enduring careers in Australian speedway. Leslight was a
fierce competitor who traveled extensively every season to attend all of the
major events on the Super Sedan calendar, often with great success. Having
started his career at Lismore Speedway when the venue was the bastion of sedan
racing in Australia,
Leslight quickly established himself as a gifted and uncompromising talent
behind the wheel. Despite the success and high profile he accrued in subsequent
years, Leslight remained a strong supporter of regional venues and is one of
the most traveled competitors in the history of the sport.

McHugh and Brims Battle Again
Posted by ovaltrack on Wednesday, December 19 @ 08:31:38 EST (90 reads) |

 SSA Media Release
After an interruption to the status
quo at the previous round, the 2007/2008 Ian Boettcher Volkswagen Super Sedan
Championship Series returned to ‘normal’ at Lismore Speedway on
Saturday, December 8 with Jamie McHugh and Wayne Brims once again locked in
combat at the front of the field in the 30-lap feature race. Despite some wet
weather-induced difficult track conditions, the Gold Coast-based duo were again
the class of the field as they continued their battle for championship
supremacy.
On this occasion, it was McHugh who
emerged victorious after qualifying his Ian Boettcher Race Parts Mazda RX8 on
pole position. Having started alongside McHugh on the front row, Brims trailed
throughout to annex second spot on his home track. Between them, the pair have
now won seven of the eight events contested and it has only been greater
consistency from Brims that enabled him to maintain narrow points advantage.

West Aussie Star Signs for NSSS
Posted by ovaltrack on Monday, November 05 @ 18:39:36 EST (159 reads) |
|
 NASR/ASCF Media Release
From the outset,
the National Super Sedan Series has been very successful in bringing many of the
finest drivers from around the country together to determine Australia’s
best. However, due to the logistical dilemmas that have prevented the series
from traveling to Western Australia – and the sheer effort required from
drivers in making the trek east to take part - race fans have had only limited
opportunities to see West Aussie competitors taking part in the series.
However, all that is about to change this season with confirmation that one of
Western Australia’s most accomplished Super Sedan drivers has committed
to the entire 2007/2008 NSSS schedule.
Perth’s Keith Higgs will join
the tour full-time this season following a successful cameo appearance during
the Speedway Racing News Triple Crown staged over three consecutive nights in
Victoria and South Australia that concluded the 2006/2007 series. In his first ever
NSSS outing at Mount
Gambier’s
Borderline Speedway, Higgs was an instant sensation and qualified on the front
row for the feature. Although he faded to finish 15th, the following night at
Mildura’s Timmis Speedway produced a much more consistent performance
that saw him qualify sixth and finish a fine fourth. Despite failing to make
the feature in the final round at Mount
Gambier, Higgs finished
tenth overall in the Triple Crown standings.

MASTERFUL MURCOTT WINS AT AVALON RACEWAY
Posted by ovaltrack on Thursday, November 01 @ 09:49:35 EST (162 reads) |
|
 A
new car and a new team didn’t hinder Albert Park’s David Murcott as he
impressively cruised to victory on Saturday night at Avalon Raceway
during the opening SRA Eureka Garages and Sheds Sprintcar round.
Sydney’s Troy Little quickly moved into second early in the feature and
remained there until the finish beating home Lilydale’s Mike Van Bremen
who raced from mid pack to finish third.
As
a result of being quick time during the top six time trial, Murcott
enjoyed the luxury of electing to start on the preferred outside of the
front row. Consequently Geelong’s Domain Ramsay started on pole,
pleasing his new sponsor Westpoint Ford. Current Avalon Raceway track
champion Matthew Reed and Little made up the second row while Rod
Mathews and John Baynes both upstaged many of the their more fancied
rivals to occupy the third row.
Murcott
was never headed as he jumped the lead from the race start and was
never headed. It was a perfect way to begin the season for the Parr
Motorsport team. Having maintained backing from Mainline and John
Sidney Racing, the team headed by brothers Adrian and Brad will now
embark on the gruelling World Series Sprintcars tour before returning
to Avalon Raceway on December 30.

Barklimore Primed for National Series
Posted by ovaltrack on Tuesday, October 30 @ 10:01:32 EST (159 reads) |
|
 NASR/ASCF Media Release
Speedway sedan racing has a rich history in
rural and regional areas across Australia,
with many of Australia’s
finest sedan competitors commencing their racing careers at regional circuits.
One such driver who has made his name on the national stage from a regional locale
is Tony Barklimore. Based in Parkes in central western New
South Wales, Barklimore has established himself as one the leading
drivers in New South Wales
with a series of outstanding performances across the state and around the
country. Barklimore has confirmed that he will once again be a part of the 2007/2008
National Super Sedan Series.
Whilst Barklimore has been a regular
fixture at country venues throughout New South Wales - such as Gilgandra, Dubbo
and Gunnedah – for quite a while, with plenty of success along the way,
such as Club Championship wins in both Gilgandra and Cobar,. However, it has
been the last few years that have seen Barklimore establish himself on the
national Super Sedan landscape with some exceptional results at local and
interstate venues.
Barklimore is a regular visitor to the
various blue ribbon events staged around Australia
each year and this willingness to take on Australia’s best drivers is
now paying dividends as he accumulates a string of excellent results. For
example, the 2004/2005 season saw Barklimore etch himself into the record books
as the winner of the inaugural New South Wales Super Sedan Series. The six-round
series was conducted at four venues throughout the state, with Barklimore taking
out the opening round and finishing on the podium in five rounds on his way to
the series championship. Also during 2004/2005, Barklimore was selected to
represent Australia against
the United States
in a Super Sedan Test Match at Gilgandra Speedway.
