This coming Sunday at Drouin Speedway, the Wingless Sprints and Mini Sprints headline the days racing with a extremely strong fifteen plus field for the Wingless pleasing the committee who have put in place lots of improvements at the venue in order to be able to accommodate one of the largest competitor groups in Australia, the Wingless Sprints.
Also on the programme is the Division 2 Hot Rods and all of the local club classes featuring Men’s, Women’s and Junior Sedan racing.
Executive committee member Rosa Evans was delighted to see so many Wingless Sprint nominations for round one of the three event West Gippsland Challenge for Wingless Sprints. “We as a committee along with our volunteers have worked really hard to finalise our catch fence and to put in place a track maintenance system to that works for us. We have a new roller that allows us to pack down our water into the track so that it is not just blowing off the wheels of our cars as soon as they start racing.” Shared Rosa.
Amongst the stronger entrants in the Wingless Sprints are Wayne Logue from Morwell, Tony Moule, Aron Lawrence, Travis Evans and Brad Foster. On a widened track which Drouin was able to do late last season, expect some side by side action and lots of passing through the turns from this field.
The very quick Mini Sprint class is also competing and Owen Schnoor who this past weekend finished second to an Australian champion whilst competing at Nyora is the favourite in a field that includes David Alie, Ally Moore and Kyle Stathopoulos. Alie showed that he wants to have a serious crack at getting the best of Schnoor after performing strongly at Nyora also.
Division 2 Hot Rods, which for new fans is a Sedan class with the front wheels exposed, are also competing and their champion Scott Laidlaw leads a list of almost ten competitors. Rob Tatterson, Jamie Angus and Drouin members Gavin Summerill and Stuart Barkway amongst the entrants.
Other competition on the day involves Standard Saloons, Junior Standard Saloons, Ladies Standard Saloons, Unlimited Sedans and Sports Sedans.
Drouin will also be commemorating Remembrance Day with Poppies available for purchase and a tribute arranged by announcers at 11am.
Gates open from 8am. Racing starts at 11am.
