Jessica Moulden and Chris Temby have walked away from Nyora Raceway with big wins in the Wingless Sprint category whilst Bevan Kemp won the crowd pleasing Sherlow’s Used Car Demolition Derby on a night that included car stunts from Captain Risky, the racing, the crashing and Peninsula Fireworks to send everybody home happy with the night’s entertainment.
Wingless Sprints had two major events on the programme with the Ladies of the Dirt series round the first of the two. Former National Formula 500 champion Jessica Moulden came out on top of Pakenham woman Renae Eastham with Ebony Hobson from the Cranbourne area third then Samantha Millar and Bree Hall rounding out the top five.
A breakout night for Chris Temby who learnt his craft as a Speedway racer at Nyora back when the infield had a Speedway Kart track. He won the final round of the ML Automotive Nyora Nationals series for Wingless Sprints with Travis Millar who won the series finishing second on the night. Todd Hobson a great buddy of Temby’s finished third with Travis Evans from Bunyip next across the line ahead of Steve Loader.

Koo Wee Rup racer Rhys Lansdown was too good for Jack Yeomans in the Junior Standard Saloons. Kasey Ingram, Blake Smith and Deegan Benson rounded out the first five in that event and in the Speedway Sedans Australia Juniors for up to 1500cc race cars finished with a first ever feature win to Jayden Bryant who had in recent months been second at Nyora and Drouin before picking up this win over Zoe Young, Dillon Taylor, Logan Mair and Jessica O’Donnell.

Molly Johnson was third with Gemma Laidlaw and Kate Stuchbery rounding out the first five and in the Open Standard Saloon feature Mark Miles chalked up a win in front of Tracey Ingram, Shane Belk, Matt Reddecliffe and Neil Ingram.
