Fingers crossed for season start at Daylesford

The Daylesford Speedway Association look forward to providing a great day’s entertainment this Sunday, with their second attempt to start the season.

The season launch will host all the local club heroes, along with invited classes the Standard Saloons, Sports Sedans and 1200cc Junior Sedans.

Local heroes include the likes of Bailey and Reece Kakoschke, Ryan Daly, Ian Bartlett, Daniel Carter, and Steve Warlond in the Modifieds, Glenn McCoubrie, Ashley Fox, Belinda Taylor, David Clark and Anthony Bull in the Street Stocks, Blair Botheras, Peyton Edwards-Daly, Blaize Majok-Edwards, Ben Carrington, and Noah Basten in Junior Sedans, plus Marlena Argent, Shelby Higginbottom, Charmaine Bryan’s, Richelle Jenner, Ebeny Bull, and Samantha Broome in the Ladies Sedans.

All-important club championship points begin in the season long quest to be the club champion in each class at the end of the season, and every race counts. Drivers will be keen to finish races and finish at the front end of the field, as the winner or otherwise.

Victorian Speedway Council classes the Standard Saloons, Sports Sedans, and Junior 1200cc Sedans are also programmed, with the Standard Saloons on hand with a healthy entry list as usual. Aaron Meakins leads a high-quality list of entrants with Rick Stowe, Bailey Sinclair, Patrick Walsh, Dean Pedersen, and Lachie Chivers all competing for the first Standard Saloon victory in central Victoria of the season.

Rhys Meakins, Katie Meyers, and Kevin Apps are amongst the Sport Sedan entrants for Sunday and in the 1200cc Juniors Arthur Hutchinson looks to continue his winning ways from last season with Riley Taylor keen to reverse his fortunes and finish out on top right from the start of the season having spent most of last year finishing second.

It is springtime, so grab your blankets, your hot drink canisters and perhaps a picnic basket, and come to Daylesford Speedway and enjoy a wonderful day.
