THE “NEW” LIGHT SHINES ON NYORA RACEWAY THIS SEASON.

 

Variety is the spice of life they say and that same philosophy applies to our speedway life as Nyora Raceway gears up for a cracker-jack new season featuring a couple of staples and a host of varied classes including Sprintcars, V8 Dirt Modifieds, Wingless Sprints, Open Sedans, Standard Saloons and a bunch of opportunities for the young kids to have a skid under the newly augmented track lights.

 

The new season will kick-off on November 29 with Wingless Sprints the headline act where a large field is expected as an opportunity to test out the track ahead of the all-important Victorian Championship scheduled for later in the season. Mini Sprints will also be in action as a warm up to their state title coming up soon. Open Sedans, Standard Saloons and VSC and 1200cc Juniors will keep the tin top fans happy as well and then to top it off will be the return of Limited Sportsmans, a division that has not run at this venue for many years.

 

 

 

The second meeting on December 27 is the season’s horsepower highlight with the raucous All Star Sprintcars and the big banger V8 Dirt Modifieds contesting the now annual “grand in the hand”. This double feature event will also have support events from VSC Sedans and the 1200cc Juniors.

 

After a break for the January national events, the gates swing open again on February 7^th where the Mini Sprints will contest their Victorian Championship. The mighty Midgets or Speedcars will be back in bigger numbers for the Aussie Jay’s Campers Southern Speedcar Tour, and the Wingless guys and girls will get one more hit out in the now traditional 3^rd round of the Victory Lane Racegear Gippsland Challenge. The Miles Cup for Standard Saloons will also add some great sedan excitement.

 

Three weeks later on February 21^st the action continues with the V8 Dirt Modifieds and the demolition derby antics of the Crash ‘N’ Bash brigade. VSC Sedans will provide some additional top level sedan speedway.

 

March 14^th will be the return of the Division II Hot Rods for the prestigious Dave Maslen Memorial. Compact Speedcars will also make their one and only Nyora appearance. Mini Sprints are again in action and the VSC Sedan Super Series will hit town as will the Vintage Speedway machines.

 

The final night show will be March 28^th with the Total Auto Pakenham Victorian Wingless Sprint Championship. Over 50 Wingless Sprints are expected and on the tight confines of Nyora the racing is sure to be frenetic and spectacular. With that many competitors there will not be much room in the house for much else except the Standard Saloons.

 

The first of a triumvirate of Sunday meetings will be April 19 with the Nyora Sprintcar Invitational*, Mini Sprints for the prestigious Geoff Moule Memorial, VSC Sedans, both VSC and 1200cc Juniors and the Vintage machinery.

 

May 24^th will be a great day of racing with the Wingless Sprints doing double duty. The ladies will have their own event as they contest the final round of the Intercity Signs Ladies of the Dirt Challenge series. The blokes will also get a run as will the Open Sedans, Standard Saloons, VSC & 1200cc Juniors and the nostalgic Vintage selection.

 

The final meeting is the annual Bob Hickson Memorial - Southern 2000 for Open Independent Sedans on June 28th. Anything from V8 powered Late Models and Super Sedans to 4 cylinder 1200cc junior spec cars will compete side by side with Standard Saloons, Street Stocks, VSC Sedans and anything else in between in one huge season ending sedan spectacular. The ladies will also get their own sedan races as will the VSC and 1200cc juniors in a big season finale.

 

VSC Sprintcars are also likely to appear at some time during the season but are yet to be confirmed.

 

With lots of home track hero’s and a sensational spread of speedway classes, this season promises to be one of the best ever in the long and illustrious history of the Nyora Raceway. Don’t miss any of it!

 

*To Be Confirmed - Nyora Raceway is currently in negotiations with the Sprintcar Racing Association to have a select group of 410 Sprintcar drivers contest an invitation only event after the conclusion of the regular season.
