Racing returns to the Jindivick Hills this weekend when Drouin Speedway presents the annual \u2018Moe Grain & Farm\u2019 sponsored Standard Saloon feature race in which many of the state\u2019s best drivers are entered to try to win the $800- first prize.<\/p>\n
In previous seasons the race was through the dog leg and back onto the speedway however this year a new concept has been brought into play with the \u2018Eliminator Cup\u2019 format getting the thumbs up from drivers.<\/p>\n
Each driver will race three heats to qualify in the top 16 cars for the feature. Sixteen cars will start the final for the first 8 laps with the bottom four cars after lap eight sent infield and the remaining 12 cars regrid. Then at the completion of another 8 laps the last 4 of are removed and the remaining 8 cars regrid to race for a final 12 laps with $800 up for first and $400 for second and trophies 1st to 3rd.<\/p>\n
Entered already with nominations closing Tuesday are 24 cars including Standard Saloon legend Scott Whittle, recent Chivers Memorial winner Craig Templeton, home town favourites including Russell Hill, Leigh Gooding and Shane Ardley and Matt Jones and Ben Brighton who have provided great Drouin Speedway action all season.<\/p>\n
