South Gippsland’s home of entertainment is Nyora Raceway and this Saturday night the dirt track stars in their cars included the flying Formula 500s. In the 80s and 90s the Formula 500’s were a regular invited class at Nyora Raceway, and it is great to see them back in their current form for the first time in a long time. The open age and Junior age classes will compete along with regular classes from Nyora the Standard Saloons, Sports Sedans plus the return of the Unlimited Sedans.
There is a lengthy list of great competitors in the Formula 500 Victorian title this Saturday night including 2015 Australian champion Dylan Willsher and 2019 Victorian champion Jack Bell. Cars coming from New South Wales will compete with the Victorians with competitor names including Jett Bell, Justin Bowen, Brooke Buckingham, Kurt Dunham, Angus Hollis, Parker Johnson, Jac Laneyrie, James Macdonald, Hayden Pascoe, Brock, Indy and Jordy Rae, Dale Sinclair, Jett Speed, Steve Jabke, Leigh Van Ginneken and Matt Turner. The list is long and the winner hard to pinpoint with almost thirty entrants in the field, it should be a terrific show.
The category also brings their Junior drivers to Nyora with a line-up of future stars of the sport of Speedway. Maddox Gibbs was once a Junior racer in Karts at Nyora Raceway and returns to what they consider their home track, whilst Rowdy Andreatta is another from Nyora who previously was running in Junior Sedans before the family invested in the F500. Dakota Luckett, Tyler Maggs, Zoe Pearce, Rusty Ponting, Mitch Saunderson are others competing on Saturday that have their eyes on being fast and first.
The support class action fields include some notable talent such as Andrew Miles, Chris Miles, Kacey Ingram, and Mitchell Blencowe in the Standard Saloons, Simon Bent, Jacob Blencowe, Ray Gould and Chris and Jayde Aarts in the Sports Sedans and Trent Susol, Sean Lister, Travis Ramsdale and Peter Cox in the Unlimited Sedans.
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 4.30pm whilst the gate will be open for public from around 11am for entry will cost $25 for an adult, Kids 12 to 16 are $10 each whilst all other children are free and Seniors are $10, Family ticket of two adults and two kids 12 to 16 is $60.
