Race fans are gearing up for a great day at the Speedway this Saturday with Wahgunyah Speedway hosting an Unlimited Sedan state series event, a Goulburn Ovens Sedans Association feature event, and daytime track championship rounds for the Standard Saloons and Junior Sedans amongst the action that begins from 11am.
Local competitors in the Unlimited Sedan class such as Wayne Eames, Ashley Booker racing for Jason Meyers from Wagga, Corey McDonald from Mount Beauty and James Woods from Wangaratta are excited to have the likes of Anthony McKean, Travis Ramsdale, Danny Smith a former Corowa based farmer now from Horsham and Peter Cox the Victorian champion, in town on Saturday for competition. The big powerful chassis cars are fast becoming popular with more cars on the way under locally based owners for next season.
Marcus Maclean leads our nominations in the second round of the Junior Open Sedan track championship whilst Jordyn Tewkesbury who just finished second the state series that concluded last weekend at Swan Hill, along with other local members Tyiren Bailey, Mackenzie Bunt, Brody McCarten and Connor Lovell who are keen to hit the track Saturday.
Victorian champion Rhys Lansdown is our number one nomination for the Standard Saloon class in their second round of their track championship. Micheal Fleming-Robertson, Josh Delarue, Michael Poole are some other competitors to keep a close eye on also with a nice little line-up for the class keen to skid.
Sports Sedans are programmed, and the Albury based Joosten family car with Daryl and Daniel sharing driving representing the Corowa-Rutherglen club up against Craig and Jake Cottier a father and son team from Wangaratta and Tay Barnard from also from Wangaratta pencilled in for racing. Rhys Collins a hard charger from Stanley is also in the field and keen.

Chris Brockley whom won at Swan Hill on Saturday night just gone is in the field with his teammate Justin Ewart, Marty Bassett whom finished second in the event and Tom Schmetzer who finished third last weekend are also in the field.
