A huge field of 37 Wingless Sprints have nominated to race on the weekend, in what has become an annual feature race. The Horsham club now has two drivers in the popular class. Jeremy Beddison will be unveiling his newly built car for the first time this weekend. Steve Hately who now has a season of Wingless Sprint racing under his belt, looks forward to finally challenging the field on his home track.
The race for Dean Baker started before the car even got to the track. He has been racing to finish the restoration to his 32 year old Limited Sportsman car to get it to the Blue Ribbon Raceway this weekend.
“For the last 4 months, I have spent every spare moment working on the restoration. I’m doing in as a tribute to a great family friend who helped me build the vehicle originally, Reg Luy, who was killed in an accident about 4 years ago. It’s a passion project”, says Dean Baker from Dimboola.
