South Gippsland motorsport venue Nyora Raceway is back in action this Saturday night with three big main events the feature of the evening with races that honour a club friend and former member, a state title and a popular big eight-cylinder class all delivering the action.
Nyora will host the Victorian โNapier Photographyโ Ladies Standard Saloon title with club member Ally Morrison the current Victorian champion defending the number one roof plate she runs currently against some excellent competition. Her car owner Brad Hill has helped her build a new car for this season whilst Bradโs own race car will be handed over to Goulburn Valley woman Felicity Roycroft in a two-pronged attack on the title for Brad Hill Motorsport.
The two Ladies are as equally as good as each other with Roycroft having more racing under her belt this season providing an extra challenge for Morrison. They will compete against other Nyora members and drivers from as far as the Portland club. Sarah Price from Pakenham, Allana Ardley from Bendigo, Maddison Miles from Catani, and Zoe Young from Langwarrin will all represent the Nyora club as members hoping to claim podium honours and perhaps the top result. Danielle Solly, Ellen Vagg, Jaimi Barber, and Nicole Vaughan are just some of the others in the line-up to keep an eye on as the chase title honours.
Dirt Modifieds return to Nyora in the last hit out at the venue prior to the huge $10,000 event in April that is set to attract competition from Queensland and New South Wales. Brett Clarke a South Gippsland man and winner of the last Dirt Modified race at Nyora returns to try and do it again against Zeke Edwards, Micheal Ardley of Mornington, Todd Hobson of Clyde, and Daryl Hickson of Mornington, the latter three are all Nyora people just like Clarke. It should be a ripper show from these high-powered machines.
A race unofficially known as the Robert Bickham Memorial and officially called the โWoggy Memorialโ after his nickname is also going to be huge for the Sports Sedans. The race is part of the โDirt X Industriesโ VSC Sports Sedan Power Series. Thirty plus race entrants will compete with last weeks round winner Damien Miller a Pakenham man the lead entrant that includes his brother Brendan, Victorian champion Lee Beach, last Nyora Sports Sedan winner Caleb Lincoln, Nyora fan favourite Simon Bent in Bickhamโs former race car, Jayde Aarts, Jamie Paull, Robert Garlick and Dale Smith are just some names to watch work their way to the front.
Division 2 Hot Rods and Unlimited Sedans are scheduled as supporting classes.
