Daylesford Speedway this Sunday has put together a huge programme to honour our service men and women with all participating classes competing for ‘Anzac Cup’ honours. What this means is the podium finishers in each class will receive ‘Cups’ organised that they can look back upon forever to remember performing strongly in the ‘Anzac Cup’.
The day starts with a Anzac Ceremony on the spectator hill at around 11.40am in the morning including the Ode to Remembrance, Last Post and National Anthem during a flag raise. Veterans with their Medals pinned proudly on their chest, will be allowed in to watch the race meeting for free. The trick is to turn up with the medals proudly worn on your chest as the gate staff check in your vehicle. There will be other veterans at the track on the day and a great way to socialise with a common interest.
Spectators too can earn themselves a gate entry discount for this race meeting. You can earn $5 of your entry price as an adult, all you have to do is head into Daylesford on your way into the track on Sunday and spend money at one of the local businesses as prove you did this with a receipt confirming where you spent your money. Example head into any of our Daylesford sponsors such as Metro Fuels, a Café, the Bakery, the Supermarket and ask for the receipt on your way out.
All Daylesford member classes are on the programme along with the Standard Saloon class and the Speedway Sedans Australia Junior Sedans. The biggest field this season has nominated in the Daylesford Modifieds and the Daylesford Ladies. The Standard Saloons have a great field as does the Street Stocks and Juniors.
In Modified racing Phillip Botheras returns to the driver’s seat in Modifieds as does Codey Millican. Ryan Daly has been the strongest performer of the entries to nominate for this Sunday’s racing. Jhett Cruise and the Kakoschke lads will be at it again in the Daylesford Juniors with Blaize Majok-Edwards keen to wrest one of their spots from them on the podium.
Jane Laidler will have her work cut out for her in the Daylesford Ladies with a number of first time race drivers in the field along with some of the regular tough competitors. Rachel Robinson, Shelby Higginbottom, Chloe Graham, Richelle Jenner and Marlena Argent have no idea on how good some of the other Ladies might be, so they will be keen to start well from the drop of the first green flag.
Daylesford’s top Street Stock competitors Des Robinson and Glen McCoubrie will have fun mixing it with some tough new members. Mick Dann is one of Victoria’s best race drivers and he is a welcome addition to the line-up as is Jayden Blomeley who already figures strongly in this year’s club results. Chris Hay, Lee Harrison and Ellen Vagg have all had strong runs at Daylesford this season.
Standard Saloon fields continue to be huge at Daylesford Speedway. Some great new first time visitors and the Cormack Clan have decided to come to Daylesford to boost the economy. Ashley Cormack. Greg Hutchins, Trevor Crilly, Priscilla Grech, Nathan Hutchins, Steven Dadswell. Aaron Cormack, Bobby Devine and the list rolls on for great entrants in the Standard Saloons.
Finally the Speedway Sedan’s Australia Junior Sedans have attracted Fletcher Barron, Bailey Rumler, and Shaqkira Blake to lead the battle in the racing on Sunday and along with the Sedans the Junior Quarter Midgets will hold racing on the infield circuit prior to the Sedan racing on the Speedway.
