by Dean Thompson
This Saturday night the Victorian title for speedway sedans Victoria juniors is the co-main event at Nyora Raceway along with the Miles Cup for standard saloons. Meanwhile, the compact speedcar and mini-lightning sprints classes will compete in points or series events also.
With the national title having just concluded for the junior sedans in Mount Gambier South Australia, many of the star performers have turned their attention to the Victorian title this weekend.
Nominations include Harry Cecil, Nathan Miles, and Logan Mair, all Nyora club members. Linken and River Paterson, who have been the standout drivers of the class at their club Alexandra and Nyora are also entered.
Aidan Rigby from Queensland, the new national champion, is amongst the entrants as is Kurtis Peall who finished in fifth place in the title.
Standard saloon action for the Miles Cup, named in recognition of the Miles family's involvement with Nyora Raceway over many years, will attract a stout line-up of all of Nyora's best drivers.
This includes the Miles brothers themselves Mark, Chris, Andrew, and Jay, while Brodie Ardley, Rhys Lansdown and Bradley Hill are other competitors that should be up the front battling for victory.
Compact speedcar racers are keen to get back on track and Michael Conway, after a recent victory at Swan Hill, is expected to figure at the front of the field up against the likes of the current national champion Justin Paull, his sister Tanya Hallett, Chris Curren, and others.
Jason Alie from Koo Wee Rup is expected to be ready to go this Saturday night in the mini-lightning sprints after putting his race car back together after a rollover at Wangaratta in December.
Ally Moore, Maureen Sell, Andrew Burleigh and Harley and Luke Graham are all ready to go.
