This Saturday Wahgunyah Speedway will provide another great day of entertainment out at the reserve with the Ladies taking centre stage for an annual feature as co-main event with the Col Young Memorial for the Goulburn Ovens Sedan Association.
Also featuring on this race day supported by Rapid Hydraulics and Rapid Performance are the Unlimited Sedans, Standard Saloons, Junior Sedans, Sports Sedans and the visiting Vintage Sprintcars providing a little something for everybody.
The Ladies ‘CR Racewear’ Apparel’ Queen of the Murray event has attracted a dozen race drivers with state Ladies Standard Saloon champion Jaimi Barber hopping into her Sports Sedan to do battle with Sports Sedan feature winner at Nyora last week Katie Meyer, Benalla woman Bianca Ballantyne, Wangaratta women Janie Patton, Tay Barnard and Leah Orgill other competitors vying for the title of ‘Queen’.
The Colin Young Memorial event is spread across two rounds with Wahgunyah and Rushworth Speedway hosts of a round each. Round one is this Saturday at Wahgunyah with competitors like Robbie Miller, Daniel McCarten, Rhys Collins, Billy O’Donoghue in the field.
Standard Saloon competition will see recent heat race winner at the state title Micheal Fleming – Robertson start amongst the favourites with Jaimi Barber also competing and despite being Ladies state champion, she is a heck of a racer capable of winning against the Lads. Warrick Howie is another in the field from Chiltern and the top pick in the race whilst other Corowa members in the field Rhyse Lavender, Tony Spale, Keith Cattermole, and Scott McAuliffe are all keen for action. Late news came across the desk to confirm that the Victorian champion for the class is also now an entrant.
Future champions of the sport will compete in the Junior Sedans with Connor Lovell, Jordyn Tewkesbury, Tyiren Bailey and Tom Little all representing the Corowa – Rutherglen club with visiting drivers from Wangaratta and Alexandra coming.
The big boys toys come out for action in Unlimited Sedans with the chassis cars with V8s and Turbo V6ers. Corey McDonald has the results on the board however our very own Wayne Eames is Victoria five after the recent state title and keen to impress at home on Saturday. Ashley Booker a open wheel race driver is jumping into Jason Meyers car and another couple of handy steerers in the mix could be Anthony McKean from Gippsland and Tim Williams from Geelong.
After winning the Sports Sedan final at Nyora on Saturday night this past weekend, Katie Meyer will be keen to challenge for another victory in the category on Saturday. Anthony Knight represents Corowa – Rutherglen and is very competitive whilst Matty Chiminello and Jackson Barneveld are two other competitors to possibly hit the finish line in first place.
