Nyora Raceway this Saturday from 4pm has a huge show packed with family fun with the Sprintcars headlining the racing portion of the program in the ‘Battle at the Bullring’ whilst club President Marcus Reddecliffe has made a special call to Santa Claus, and he will make an appearance for all the kids that are in attendance. The fun doesn’t stop there with Standard Saloons, Ladies Standard Saloons, Junior Standard Saloons, 1200cc Junior Sedans and Sports Sedans all in competition with the night closed down by a spectacular Fireworks show put on by the team at Kangaroo Fireworks Company to send everybody home happy.
In Sprintcar action early signs are that all of Gippsland’s best drivers will be in town to compete for the $2000 cash up for grabs for winning the race with Travis Millar from Wandin and Frankston man Kim Gosling whom both call Nyora Raceway their home track coming up against the likes of Victorian champion Nigel Laity from Wiseleigh in East Gippsland, Jett Bell, Dennis Jones from Morwell a four-time state champion, Alistair Bastian from Lucknow, and Adam Greenwood from Sale. Competing with Chevrolet LS CT525 engines these machines make all the noise that we come to expect from any Sprintcar no matter the powerplant.
Nominations in the Sedan classes are set to feature drivers from all over Gippsland and Melbourne’s South-East Suburbs with plenty of entertainment to be delivered in the Standard Saloons after some elbows were lifted on track at the last event in November. Drivers will be told to be on their best behaviour by event Stewards. Mark Miles from Catani leads the charge for Nyora with brothers Andrew Miles, Chris Miles and Jay Miles making it a family affair and others such as Kacey Ingram, Owen and Harry Cecil will be right in amongst the action and vying for the top spot.
Junior Standard Saloons, and Junior 1200cc Sedans competitors are looking forward to the opportunity of competing at Nyora for the first time this season whilst the Ladies Standard Saloons and Sports Sedans return after appearing on Melbourne Cup long weekend. Tom Braz a winner at Bairnsdale in Junior Standard Saloons this past weekend leads the field that includes Chase Ingram and Hunter Carey, whilst Bryce Leek, Ella Sheedy, Xander Baxter, Brad Marshall, Riley Taylor and Chase Doherty are a few of the drivers in the 1200s that are ready to battle whilst in Ladies Standard Saloon’s expect Ally Morrison to be the driver to beat with the likes of Bree Walker, Kate Stuchbery, Maddison Miles, and Bronwyn Miles set to keep Ally honest.
In Sports Sedan action Simon Bent a winner on Sunday of Melbourne Cup weekend is back whilst he will have Chris Aarts, Braiden Webster, Cameron Dike and Scott Angus amongst others in the field. Angus in particular is strong at the moment winning in South Australia recently and Dike featured on a podium at Warrnambool.
