Nyora Raceway has had a rotten run of luck with weather forecasts affecting their race meetings and fingers and toes are crossed that this coming weekend a two-day show can go ahead with Sprintcars programmed on Saturday along with the ‘DTR Heavy Vehicle Repairs’ Victorian Sports Sedan title and the Miles Cup for Standard Saloons, to be followed by a club day of racing on Sunday that includes the Robert Bickham Memorial for Sports Sedans and club classes.
Fans will need to get in early both days with Saturday racing starting from 3pm and Sunday from 1pm. At the time of writing, the Sprintcars had attracted once again National Supercars race star Cam Waters from Mildura, Australian 360ci Sprintcar Champion Brett Milburn, Grant Anderson a born into Sprintcars star from Wagga, Jordyn Charge from Melbourne who recently won competing in the South West and Pakenham born and raised Todd Moule who now flies in the things with wings.
The Victorian Sports Sedan title includes the defending champion Jamie Paull form the Melbourne Eastern suburbs who just happens to represent the Nyora club. David Donegan the current number three driver is also in for a steer of his popular Holden eight-cylinder powered Ford Cortina. Damien Miller a two-time Sports Sedan champion will fire up his LS Chevrolet powered Commodore and several other competitors to keep an eye on include Dale Morrison, Warrick Taylor, Shane Kruger, Robert Garlick, Ricky Cornwall, Lee Beach, Rhys Collins, Shane O’Brien, and Matt Nelson.
In the ‘Miles Mechanical’ supported Standard Saloon feature event named the Miles Cup, the best line-up for a few seasons yet has nominated. Daniel Stewart this seasons Victoria three driver leads, Wayne Sheerman, Brad Hill, Rhys Lansdown, Shane Stewart our state number one driver, Mark Miles, Nick Chrystie a former state champion, Mick Ardley another former Victorian champion, Scott Whittle a mere seven times former Victorian champion, Patrick Vuillermin, Craig Templeton, Kacey Ingram, Hanna Domburg, Courtney Meakins, Tracey Ingram and more into the race to honour local South Gippsland and Casey Shire family, the Miles.
For all the action on Saturday racing starts at 3pm whilst the gate will be open for public from around 11am for entry will cost $25 for an adult, Kids 12 to 16 are $10 each whilst all other children are free and Pensioners are $10, Family ticket of 2 adults and two kids 12 to 16 is $50.
For race fans eager for more action, with support for the Lang Lang Returned Services League being generated by the Nyora club, permission has been granted to race from 1pm Sunday on Anzac Day.
Drivers in the Sports Sedan’s keen to stay around town or come into town will honour a former club member and friend of Nyora the late Robert Bickham. A memorial race honouring Bickham will be contested with the before mentioned Beach, Paull, Miller, and Taylor sticking around to compete being joined by all of Bickham’s great club mates and couple of drivers joining in that did not make Saturday night’s show.
Dylan Barrow, Linken Paterson, Jayden Bryant, and Rhys Meakins are front runners in the Speedway Sedans Australia Juniors that will be competing on Sunday in the up to 1500cc class, Aaron Price, Mark Miles, Kacey Ingram, Stephen Douglas, and Anthony Sgroi go at it again in the Standard Saloons.
Victorian Ladies Standard Saloon champion Trish Dike leads the nominations in that class with Sarah Price, Ally Morrison, Courtney Meakins and Bec Glassborow trying to get one over her before the Victorian title in a few weeks time. Damon Ingram the Victorian Junior Standard Saloon champion leads Harry Cecil, Linken Paterson, Owen Cecil, and Matt Shankland on Sunday in his first race meeting since winning the title at Rosedale.
A special price for spectators encourages a great family day at the Speedway with adults able to enter for just $10 each.
Gates to the public open at 10am and racing starts at 1pm entry will cost $10 for anybody aged 12 and above whilst all other children are free. A family ticket of 2 adults and two kids 12 to 16 is $25 with donations form every ticket purchased of a buck each going to the Lang Lang RSL.
