Newly crowned POWRi SSS champion Brett Thomas heads the list of Midget drivers that will converge on Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway this Saturday night to battle it out for the Auto Upgrade 2014 Queensland Midget State Title. It’s also round 9 of the Polar Ice Midget Series and several support divisions are running so it’s set to be a full schedule on the card and a great night at the Speedway.

 

Thomas continued his podium placing pace from his last appearance Archerfield a fortnight ago, with another podium finish in Sydney last weekend.  Third place at the final round of the POWRi SSS was enough to see him take out the 2013/2014 series.

 

The Polar Ice Midget Series round 8 results were unavailable at the time of this release but at the conclusion of round 7, Thomas was in second position behind Michael Kendall.  However, Kendall DNF’d the round 8 feature race so the tables may just have turned in Thomas’ favour. Regardless, it’ll be great to watch these two go head-to-head in the fight for the Queensland Title.

 

Nine out of the top ten contenders in the Polar Ice Series are nominated; Scott Jeynes (who is coming fourth in the series) is missing from the list after a wild ride in Sydney last weekend – he is recovering, no bones broken but he’s very badly bruised.

 

Michael Harders is running third in the Polar Ice Series but he’ll have an added challenge this weekend, he’ll be on a learning curve coming to terms with a different ride on Saturday night – his new caris back in the workshop. Anthony Chaffey is a strong chance, as are Matt Greenwood and Matt Smith who rounds out the top ten.

 

Twenty-one V8 Dirt Modifieds will shake the ground beneath you and all the ‘names’ will be there… Australian champion David Clark, former Aussie champ Mark Robinson, WA champion Brandon Rawlings, Andrew Pezzutti, Ray Klarich, Geoff Phillips and the list goes on.

 

The ongoing battle between newly crowned Queensland Lightning Sprint champion Scott Genrich and Titan’s Garages backed Peter Campbell will be an entertaining one.  They’re joined by a field of 11 in that category.

 

Darren Silcock heads a small but potent group of 360 Sprints competitors that are set to take to the track along with Microsprints, AMCA’s and the Brisbane Sedans.

 

Pit gates open at 3pm, spectator gates open at 4pm and there will be early racing from approximately 5pm and the main program commences at 6pm. Check www.brisbanespeedway.com.au for prices and check facebook.com/archerfieldspeedway for updates.
