This is new to Steve. Not Speedway, but the Wingless Sprint!
Up until just before christmas, Steve was in a 3 Litre Sedan. I’m told these are a step up from the Limited Sportsman but closer related to a Sprint Car. They have big fat tyres and the modern suspension used by Sprint Cars. The engines are limited to a stock Commodore V6 and all the cars in the Wingless Sprint class are pretty much the same. So winning comes down to driver and set up of the car.
The Queen’s Birthday weekend Speedway Carnival at Blue Ribbon Raceway began on Saturday afternoon, but not without earlier concern of drizzle for Horsham Motor Sports Club officials. Although the weather passed by midday the track surface was very greasy. The program featuring 82 races over the weekend was re-shuffled, 33 Wingless Sprint Cars were then the first to race in an attempt to dry out the track aided by their large race tyres.
A big weekend of speedway is planned for Kalkee’s Blue Ribbon Raceway this weekend. The annual speedway carnival will be conducted Saturday and Sunday with over 100 drivers from across Victoria and South Australia racing.
The Wingless Sprint Cars have become a regular event at the carnival and will provide some action packed racing with 31 drivers nominated for the weekend.
