State title on offer at Nyora Speedway

Nyora Raceway will host a great night of racing on Saturday featuring the Victorian Compact Speedcar Club’s state title.

The program also includes a feature event for two of the club’s classes, the sports sedans and the standard saloons, and support from women’s sedans and junior 1200cc sedans.

The Victorian title for compact speedcars has attracted almost 20 cars, including a handful from New South Wales and current Victorian champion Justin Paull from Melbourne seeking to defend his previous title win.

Paull will face stiff competition against the likes of Mark Heaton of NSW who has won the title on more than one occasion.  Like Paull, he has also won the Australian title.  Mark Cecil, Wangaratta winner Michael Conway, Kyle Sharpe from NSW, Tania Hallett, Matt Papa and Ben Fairfax from NSW also some of the challengers in the field to keep an eye on.

Local racers will also compete in a sports sedan feature event, with some big cash up for grabs to attract some of the strongest competitors in the area.

The unique standard saloon feature event is also one to watch.  Racers will compete in one direction before switching around and racing the other way, with both segments considered their own race.

Junior racers will compete in their 1200cc race cars and women’s sedans is also part of the action.

For early birds, the junior quarter midgets hit the track early in the day.  The quarter midgets compete on the infield track and from 4pm the main show begins on the speedway proper.

All the action on Saturday starts at 4pm, with the gate open for public from around 11am.

Entry is $25 for adults, $15 for kids aged 12 to 16 and free for younger children, $10 for seniors and $60 for a family ticket of two adults and two children.
