This Sunday Drouin Speedway returns to action with the annual Ladies Standard Saloon feature event along with the Stand Still start race for Open Standard Saloons. Junior Standard Saloons, Junior 1200cc Sedans, Sports Sedans and Unlimited Sedans will all be in competition also, meaning lots of variety for fans on race day.
The Ladies have supported the feature event with a number of great drivers listed to compete. This year’s Victorian title third placegetter Katie Meyer will compete in local race driver Darwyn Lee’s car, and she will be in battle on Sunday with Caroline Allen also a top five driver at the title, Lea Judd who performed strongly also at this seasons Victorian title is also in the field, as is Elise Halliday, Michelle George, Sharlene Laidlaw, Jemima Borkowski, Maddison Miles, and Stacey Sheedy. With the prestige of winning the only Ladies feature at Drouin for the season on the line, the action will be furious from the start.
Drivers in the Stand Still Standard Saloon race include Jeff Blencowe who continues to be the benchmark at his home track. Blencowe is always amongst the top five if not at the very front of the field, however Drouin Speedway continues to attract and be supported by tough competitors in the class and with Mark, Chris and Andrew Miles competing you know the battle is going to be hard fought. Matt Leek, Tyson Cull, Darwyn Lee, Jason Judd, Mark Borkowski, and the returning legend Johnny Watson will make for an interesting day in Standard Saloons.
Sports Sedans return for a skid at Drouin Speedway with some great racing assured on Sunday. Malcolm Knight and Anthony Knight are both capable of victory, Anthony Knight with wins against his name and Malcolm delivering a strong showing at Nyora at a recent event are a couple to watch as is the Kakoschke brothers Bailey and Reece whilst Katie Meyer was a winner at Nyora recently and she starts as a favourite again this Sunday. Peter Angus and Bernie Franklin are two others to watch.
Junior Standard Saloon’s has once again attracted a great line up with Tom Braz a winner at Bairnsdale this past Sunday night headlining a field that includes his brother Jack, and Beau Stuchbery a winner at Drouin already this season plus the likes of Cooper Joynson, Bree Walker, Nathan Miles also a winner at Drouin this season, Zoe Hunt, Tyler McDermott, and Logan Mair. A tough line up to pick a winner from, the action is going to be terrific.
1200cc Junior Sedans will compete the night before in Wangaratta and it is possible more cars may yet nominate to compete on Sunday, Ella Sheedy a winner at Nyora recently lines up against a small but tough field that includes Bryce Leek, Chase Doherty and Xander Baxter.
Rounding out all the events for the day are the powerful Unlimited Sedans. Daryl Nicolson who proves to be very consistent at Drouin leads a line-up that includes Gippsland Legend Leigh Gooding and class front runner Anthony McKean and Troy Hutchison. McKean has proven around Victoria to be in the top five of the class and starts as the driver to beat in current nominations.
