Wayne Logue and Jemima Borkowski won the featured events at the recent Drouin Speedway meeting.
The second last meeting of the current season included the annual Women's Standard Saloon feature and a Wingless Sprint feature for fans to enjoy.
For local club member Jemima Borkowski, the women's event win was her biggest to date. Morwell-based Wingless Sprint racer Wayne Logue proved too strong in the feature event and collected the $500 prize.
The Wingless Sprint produced three different winners on the way to the feature event, with Ricky Mills, Lloyd Bahr and local club member Travis Evans all taking a win. Logue won the final in front of Mills, Kim Loong-Gosling, West Gippsland local Scott Irons and Michael Loxton.
Three separate winners in the Women's Standard Saloon heats set up an exciting feature race final after Ash Wilson, Dette Miles and Borkowski took wins. Borkowski went on to claim the win, leading every lap to defeat Latrobe Valley's Sharlene Laidlaw, rookie driver Michelle George, Maddi Miles and Erin Mitchell.
In the Unlimited Sedan Victorian Lucky Sevens series action, there were three different heat race winners in qualifying. They were Johnny Young, Drouin's Daryl Nicolson and Anthony McKean. It was McKean who would go on to victory over Nicolson, Troy Hutchison and Travis Ramsdale.
Victorian champion Jacob Vuillermin from Traralgon won two of his three qualifying heats in Standard Saloons, with Jeff Blencowe, Leigh Gooding, Andrew Miles and Mark Miles all winning one of their three qualifiers. Vuillermin led every lap in the final to take the class victory in front of Mark Miles, Blencowe, Chris Miles and Andrew Miles.
Brothers Harry and Owen Cecil won two heats each in Junior Standard Saloons qualifying, whilst Nathan Miles and Beau Stuchbery took a win apiece. The feature event result finished with Harry in front of Owen, then Stuchbery, Deon Fythe and Breanna Walker.
