Victorian Standard Saloon title, big Production Sedan feature, headline Wangaratta this weekend
This Saturday and Sunday beginning at 5pm each evening, Wangaratta City Raceway will rock along to some of the best action you can expect to see this summer. More than sixty competitors will be out to try and claim the Standard Saloon state number one plate from Jacob Vuillermin whilst twenty competitors will try to secure the ‘W’ over the new Victorian Production Sedan champion Brendan Harper in the North East Nationals.
Vuillermin from the Latrobe Valley will have his hands full with another amazing title field for his Victorian Speedway Council Standard Saloon category that includes Chiltern resident Warrick Howie, just one of the favourites that has nominated. There are so many of the states best competitors, that some of the best just wont qualify for the main event on Sunday.
Aaron Marshall, from Bendigo, Aaron Meakins, Andrew Miles, Ashley Fythe, Bradley Hill, Brad Warren, Brodie Ardley, Chris Miles, Craig Templeton, Jack Yeomans, Jeff Blencowe, Josh Thomas, Kacey Ingram, Leigh Gooding, Mark Jennings from Mount Gambier, Mark Miles, Matt Domburg, Matt Leek, Micheal Fleming-Robertson, Mitch Blencowe, Paul Domburg, Rhys Lansdown from Wahgunyah, Nathan Hutchins, Scott Whittle the seven times champion of the class, Shane Stewart, and Wayne Sheerman amongst the many drivers focused on the number one.
Wayne Sheerman has been in terrific form around Victoria and Matt Domburg continues to pull out big Victories and could be in line for the big one and it would be absolutely bananas for the class if the lone South Australian Mark Jennings takes the win. Former state champion and Wangaratta member Warrick Howie had a convincing victory at the last Wangaratta race meeting, and he to is one competitors have their eye on.
With a big cash pool up for grabs for the Speedway Sedans Australia governed Production Sedans, competitors from New South Wales, Canberra, and across Victoria have nominated to compete with Wangaratta members Raymond Ussher, Chris Lack, Michael Sayers, Tom Barnard, Chris Fitzgerald, Leighton Evans and Harper keen to keep the cash in house. Fitzgerald has been strong in heat racing and had some bad luck in the finals, watch to see if his luck changes this weekend.
They will compete with the likes of Trevor Mills from Corowa and Stephen Laidlaw both two times Australian champions, Jacob Mills from Howlong a one-time national champion, Scott Hawkins, Stuey Robinson who just won last week in Horsham, Craig and Damien McAllister from the Goulburn New South Wales area, Danny Harrison, Jack Murphy and Rodney Anderson all from New South Wales.
Entry Fee to enjoy the racing across two days is $50 per adult, $40 for Aged and Disabled Concession, $20 for Kids aged six through to sixteen, children under six free and a family ticket is $120 for two adults and two kids over the age of six. One day passes are half the listed price.
The gates to the public open from 2pm and racing begins from 5pm.
