On Sunday morning in West Gippsland, Drouin Speedway will host the crazy racers from the Crash and Bash Association in what should be a packed venue to enjoy the damage the racers inflict on each other as they try to get to the finish line first and ensure everybody else does not.
Over twenty-five competitors in the open class Crash and Bash will do battle in the War on Wheels including the Sgroi brothers, the George family, the Leeson brothers, Rob Disher, the Miles family, Jason Judd, Richard Lewandowski, Craig McKendry, and the dastardly best mates Andrew Corlett and James Kane.
It is always difficult to choose a winner in the class as anything goes, however one thing is for sure, the driver who is the smartest tactically will come out on top. Expect cars to hit tyres, concrete, each other and let’s just hope they avoid the ambulance!
The Crash and Bash girls will also be at it on ‘Drive for Yarnie’ race day with Lea Judd who recently won at Daylesford the favourite going into Sunday. The likes of Sarah Price, Kath George, and Bianca Brown amongst her competition, are keen to take victory from her on Sunday.
The Junior Standard Saloon competitors will be back to finish off their feature event final from the previous race meeting, the Junior Jam. After that is over, they will compete in Sunday’s racing with the likes of Jack Yeoman’s, Harry and Owen Cecil, Nathan and Maddison Miles, Cody Drennan and Hunter Carey all competing. Harry Cecil is on pole position for the Junior Jam as top qualifier and Jack Yeoman’s in his last season of seniors will be keen to win as his Junior career winds up.
Standard Saloons have over thirty competitors continuing the run of incredible Sunday family day race fields they have been producing at Drouin. Jeff Blencowe, Leigh Gooding, Daniel Walkinshaw, Mitchell Blencowe, Andrew Cormack, Matt Leek, Victor Benson, and Darwyn Lee are just some of the racers that could figure in the run to the chequered flag.
Ladies Standard Saloon action is also on the schedule. Sharlene Laidlaw, Kate Stuchbery and Rebecca Glassborow are some of the drivers who will be keen to chalk up victory.
Gates open from 8.30am. Racing starts at 11am.
Entry will cost $15 for an adult, aged and invalid Pensioner and Children 12 to 16yrs is $10 and Children under 12 years of age are free. A family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children aged 12 to 16 will cost $40.
