If you are a motorsport fan, you will not want to miss this Saturday nights event at Redline Raceway on Mount Buninyong as it is time for the Victorian Sprintcar title and the ‘King of the Mount’ for Street Stocks once again with almost sixty total entrants just in those two classes alone. Australian Motor Contest Association (AMCA) Nationals and Standard Saloons are also on the schedule to entertain.
The Victorian Speedway Council Sprintcar state title has attracted almost thirty entrants to do battle with last season’s top three in the title back again with a host of challengers. Alistair Bastian the current champion is keen to defend whilst Ballarat raised Sam Wren is hoping to climb a step higher on the podium this season after his second placed finish last year. Shane Steenholdt is back in town and he is one of the best to have never won the title and will be focussed to do so.
Dennis Jones has won the title four times and he is on the list and sights set on title number five, his team mate Justin Barton who finished second to Jones in the 19/20 season title is keen to reverse that outcome and have his team leader finish behind him. Adam Greenwood is consistently winning of late so he will have belief that he can achieve the holy grail this weekend also and other competitors right down the list will be in the same mindset.
This year’s King of the Mount has been hit by all sorts of outside influences, people still concerned with Covid, Fuel prices, other events etc.; however we will see some very good competition on race night from some of the nation’s best who race at Redline consistently. Mick Dann, Dean Jenkins, Steven Watts, Rick Cornwall last week’s Street Stock feature winner at Warrnambool, Shaun Henry, Jason Degoldi, Matt Nelson, Jayden Blomeley, Mark and Scott Purdie and David Barrie amongst them.
Add to those favoured above are another handful of Ballarat locals and Redline members that includes Leigh Bourke, Andrew Burgoyne, Scott Secombe, Jamie Crutchley, Aaron White and Dale Blomeley are also hard chargers keen to hustle their way to the podium, or to the big win.
The AMCA Nationals return and the likes of Dean Heseltine, Stewart Grant – Campbell, Frank Thierry, Paul Howard and Grant Cullinger will do battle to try and score the ‘W’ (win) whilst the Standard Saloons are also supporting with Mitch Foster the biggest credentialed of the nominations having just achieved the state number three plate at the Victorian title for the class. Rick Stowe, Bailey Sinclair, Courtney Meakins, and Trevor Crilly are some others to watch.
Gates to the public will open at 2pm with racing from 4.30pm approximately.
Entry is Adults $30 & Aged and Invalid Pensioners $25 Kids 6 to the age of sixteen $7 or a family $65 (2 adults & 4 Kids) fully catered venue, no BYO as per law.
