Blue Ribbon Raceway Scheduled to Bright Up

Published: Tuesday November 29 2022

After weeks of miserable weather and a long absence of racing since May, the proud Horsham Speedway Drivers Club is set to host the first of many exciting events for the season this Saturday night starting with a visit from the All Star Sprintcars and the South Australian Street Stock Series.

More than twenty Sprintcars are nominated to compete with a terrific line-up of talent from Charles Hunter, Mark Caruso, Scott Enderl, Michael Tancredi, Todd Moule, Jett Bell, David Donegan, and Corey Sandow amongst them.

The Sprintcars always entertain and pull a crowd, race fans in the are encouraged to be there when the gates open to get the best spots in your car (limited availability) or in your portable seating on our lovely, grassed areas.

Street Stocks will have a field of thirty cars for round two of their MJS Street Stock Series, with South Australian’s and Victorians ready to go to battle. Morris Ahearn, Dean Jenkins, Keith Moore, Nigel Reichstein, Jayden Blomeley, Drew Flatman, Andy Maxwell Jnr, and Corey Richter are just some of the competitors this Saturday, with Ahearn the winner of round one already this season.

Production Sedans with Horsham’s own Katelyn Eltze, Dean Hughes, Steve Honeyman, Ryan Queale, and Ryan’s dad, otherwise known as Shaun Queale competing against a handful of visiting racers. Our V8 Trucks and a new addition to Horsham this season the Unlimited Sedans that includes Clear Lake racer Danny Smith will together provide substantial entertainment to the paying fan.

On January the 6th racing returns with the Wingless Sprints Summer Slam and Formula 500s joining us and the follow night on the 7th, 410ci Sprintcars, Sports Sedans, Production Sedans and Limited Sportsman complete a huge double header weekend of racing at Blue Ribbon Raceway.
