TEST OF ENDURANCE AT ALEXANDRA SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

TEST OF ENDURANCE AT ALEXANDRA SPEEDWAY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

It’s been cold, wet & windy as it typically is in Winter, however once again one of the marquee

events of the Alexandra Speedway season is upon us & set to warm Speedway fans up when the

drivers in the annual 3 Hour Enduro hit the track this Saturday night with a sensational entry list that

is headlined by the defending champions of Daniel Unternahrer & Darren Nelson, along with almost

twenty other teams that are absolute pre-race serious chances of a top five result in the entry list.

Competitors usually with two cars & two drivers, sometimes more, have to complete the most

amount of laps around the dog leg dirt circuit in the three hour time limit to be the winners. The

more you stop or break down, the less chance you have of winning.

Drivers need a fair amount of luck, however driving skill, patience, crew work in the pits & tactical

ability will all ensure a worthy winning team.

Unternahrer & Nelson are a strong combination with their V8 powered cars & Unternahrer has kept

himself in form by recently being the fastest competitor on track at the Winton Raceway Speedway

Drivers Day. Nelson didn’t do a lot of racing this past season choosing to mostly support another

drivers pursuit of a point score win, as such Nelson is really excited for this weekend’s racing.

The Miller Boys from Pakenham are teaming up with older Brother Damien & little Bro Brendan

forming a lethal combination, not to rub salt into the wound, however it seems Brendan wanted to

form the combo so that his brother couldn’t crash him out of the race like he did in the 100 Lap

Derby in June!

Team after team could be listed as a fair chance to have a top five result and we would still miss

potential winning combinations out, some of the teams that our media representative suggests to

keep an eye on include former 360 Sprintcar Australian Champion Tony Moule & Frank Ramsdale

both from Pakenham, father & son Colin & Corey Lincoln from Beveridge over at the Hume Highway,

Seymour businessman Robert Gorman & Young gun Daniel Simpson from Horsham, Darren Forrest &

Scott Ellis from Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs, Alexandra drivers Luke Fallon & Matt Ridd with Luke

the King at long distance races looking to bag his first 3 Hour, this year’s 100 Lap Derby runner up

Brad Warren & Russell Hill a former Flat Out 50 winner, Lenny Bates & Andrew Jordan another

Eastern Suburbs combination & David Donegan along with Dan Scott in two of the most popular

crowd pleasing Enduro cars that includes a Ford Cortina with a Holden V8 driven by Donegan.
