With Melbourne Cup day coming up next Tuesday and many in the community given the opportunity to take Monday off work, Nyora Raceway will hold competition Sunday and Monday this weekend with major events across both days for the Open Standard Saloons, Crash and Bash Association and Wingless Sprints and Dirt Modifieds. All four classes will compete on both days of racing whilst Ladies Standard Saloons, Sports Sedans and Division 2 Hot Rods will also have a run on either of the two days.
Fans of eight-cylinder engines and the noise and power the cars with them produce will be excited by the V8 Dirt Modifieds competing in a ‘ML Automotive’ $5000 prize pool event across the two days. Daryl Hickson, Matt and Marcus Reddecliffe, Michael Ardley and Warrick Taylor are some of the Nyora member racers competing in the class for the weekend with Hickson the man to beat given his years of running at the front of the field at Nyora.
Standard Saloons will compete for the Dougo 44 race to honour Stephen Douglas formerly of Poowong and for many years a server member and volunteer at Nyora Raceway as well being a much recognised and appreciated Country Fire Authority local member. Everybody competing wants to win the race in honour of their great mate and fellow competitor.
State champion Rhys Lansdown and formerly of Koo Wee Rup before moving to take up a job opportunity will be back to compete, as will Mark Miles of Catani, Chris Miles, Andrew Miles, Brad Warren, Mitch Foster, Warrick Howie a former state champion, Darren Forrest, young guns Kacey Ingram Ally Morrison, Jack Braz, Brodie Robertson, Harry and Owen Cecil and Wayne Sheerman are others to keep an eye on for the big race. So many potential results could happen, will be terrific racing across two days.
Amongst the stout competition in the Wingless Sprints is Koo Wee Rup local Thomas McDonald, Adin Robertson, Jake Warren, Kim Gosling, Ricky Mills from Traralgon, Ben Hodge, Ebony Hobson, Christopher Temby, Travis Millar, and Peter Logue from Morwell. A winner is likely to come from this selection whilst there is many in the entry list close to figuring at the front of the field.
Crash and Bash competition for the Open class that competes on Monday includes local well known racers Jake Young, Dale Morrison the ever-entertaining racer when it comes to Crash and Bash, Brad Warren, Jayde Aarts, and Ron George. Throw in Mark Hebblethwaite who is consistently at the front of the field, fast man Ryan Taylor, Matt Nelson, and Kenneth Mankey for extra carnage. Brad Warren was the last winner at Alexandra in August and has a target as always on his back. Monday should be seriously entertaining in the Open class.
The Ladies class competes on the Sunday. State champion Leeanne Young leads the last seasons championship runners up Kath George and third place Romney Stirling-Anderson into battle. Competitors such as Sharon Morrison, Danni Marshall, Felicity Roycroft, and Lea Judd are just some of the Ladies keen for a spin!
