Drouin Speedway revs up for action once again this coming Sunday the 9th of November with all club classes in action & three big feature events for fans to enjoy including the ‘Gold Cup’ series for Mini Sprints, round one of the track championship for Unlimited Sedans & the annual ‘Latrobe Valley Waste’ Eliminator Cup for Standard Saloons.
Ladies & Junior Sedans also get behind the wheel on race day giving something for everybody to follow.
The Mini Sprints recently announced a national alliance that includes the states of Queensland, Tasmania & New South Wales & whilst that still has a way to go to be finalised, a number of new drivers are making the switch into Mini Sprints.
Dave May who competed at the June event at Drouin finishing second comes back again & this time his long time crewman Brad Lowe returns behind the wheel of his own race car. Youngsters and former Speedway Kart competitors Luke Hickson & Will Van der Ark along with former Junior Quarter Midget racer Kyle Stathopoulos all join the Mini Sprints having their first race meeting as a driver.
Kevin Bomford, Darren Schnoor, Owen Bulman & Jason Lynn will be trying to beat to the line the new breed in the first round of the division’s state wide series.
Eliminator Cup entries include last start feature winner Dale Morrison, club Standard Saloon champion Leigh Gooding, youngster Brad Hill who finished second at the last meeting, Mark Miles, Jeff Blencowe & Travis Evans amongst the potential the best from Drouin’s club & Chris & Shane Stewart to of the best Victoria has in the division. Morrison, Gooding & Miles have all been feature race winners at Drouin in the last couple of seasons.
The Junior Standard Saloon kids have another opportunity to settle into Drouin Speedway before the Victorian title later into the season.
For enquiries spectators are encouraged to call 0422 289 133
