Where else would a male motorsport enthusiast take his girl on Valentine’s day than the Speedway, 

which was the case for diehards on this February the 14th when Drouin Speedway entertained 

happy couples and families looking for their weekly dose of racing.

The fields were not enormous by any means and racing was started just after eleven in the morning 

and finish just after three in the afternoon.

Hans Lovski became a first time feature race winner when he took the honours in the Open Sedan 

division ahead of Pakenham racer Darren Skilton & Andrew Suckling.

The national Junior Sedan division were supposed to be having a major feature race, however with 

all the major Junior Sedan competitors from this side of Melbourne off in Mount Gambier for the 

South Australian title the night before, interest was very little to get back to Drouin the next day.

Pakenham driver Jack Ramsdale was able to lead Darcy Wilson & Chloe Sheerman to the finish in the 

Junior Sedans with all three youngsters delighted to pick up trophies for their efforts.

First across the line in the Standard Saloon division would be Leigh Gooding from Yallourn ahead of 

Mitch Blencowe, Chris Charles, Jake Blencowe & Mitchell Bowyer & in the Ladies Standard Saloons 

Shannon Lovell was too good for Elena Bodman.

Ace of Spades vintage speedway sedans entertained also in their demonstration runs with many of 

the cars based back on the 34’ model Fords.

Drouin returns on March the 20th with SDAV Hot Rods, Boost to Drive Junior Standard Saloon series 

round, Vintage Super Modifieds and club classes.
