Drouin Speedway will get it’s season off to a smashing start this Sunday with the Crash and Bash Association in town for the first event of the season for both themselves and Drouin. Last years Victorian title winning driver Jason McKendry who won the title at Drouin, is leading a huge field of drivers hungry to smash up cars!
On the same show, all the local Standard Saloon competitors for Open, Juniors and Ladies are ready to go as are the visiting Vintage Ace of Spades club from Melbourne.
The Gippsland Big Bash for Crash and Bash stars the before mentioned Victorian Champion and the runner up Rob Bushell, then throw in entertaining competitors like Grant Attewell, Brad Warren, Nathan Taylor, Jason Judd, Tim Cole, James Kane and Richard Lewandowski. Cars will be crunched, spun hard, shoved out the way and if they are really unlucky, they will be torn apart.
The fans love the Crash and Bash, the Drouin Speedway Club is likely to be packed with the gates opening early for all the action.
In Standard Saloon racing , Marcus Reddecliffe the Victoria number two driver, Travis Evans, Jeff Blencowe, Leigh Gooding and Victor Benson are hard front running competitors and it is hard to pick a winner other than one of them in this field, however John Watson is out of retirement for what could be the 27th time to compete in a brand new car, Jamie Curtis is consistent and Leigh Mitchell had his best season last year, this will be a great days racing.
In the Junior Standard Saloons Jack Yeomans leads the entries as the club’s Junior champion and will have new competition to get used too whilst in the Ladies line-up Kate Stuchbery and Natasha Curtis look the most likely to come out in front.
Gates open from 8am. Racing starts at 11am.
Entry will cost $15 for an adult, aged and invalid Pensioner and Children 12 to 16yrs is $10 and Children under 12 years of age are free. A family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children aged 12 to 16 will cost $40.
