NYORA RACEWAY IS READY TO GET DOWN & DIRTY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

NYORA RACEWAY IS READY TO GET DOWN & DIRTY THIS SATURDAY NIGHT.

By Brett Swanson (Pirate Media)

After a huge effort from members of the Nyora Speedway Club, the track will kick off its new season this Saturday night (29^th November) with added illumination from the new additional infield lights.

The extra lighting is exactly what is needed to shine the light on the sideways speedway action that is sure to emanate from the tight Gippsland bullring.

Wingless Sprints will be the headlining class ahead of their Victorian Championship to be held here later in the season and appropriately Kelvin Toogood will get to be the first car to circulate the track under the new lights after being the project manager for the upgrade and spending a huge amount of time recently to ensure the job was completed on time and correctly.

Nyora’s favourite daughter Ebony Hobson will be in action in Peter Temby’s V89, and will take on the likes of Kevin Reeves, Brett Neylan, Wayne Hurford, Wayne Milburn Jnr and a host of others.

The Geoff Moule Memorial for Mini Sprints will also be hotly contested with Kevin “Bomber” Bomford, leading the charge from Dave May, Owen Bulman, and Matt Parson who is desperate to win the event. A swathe of rookies will add to the excitement including Luke Hickson, Kyle Stathopoulos, Chris Sheaf and Will Van Der Ark.

In sedan action the Open Sedans will be headed by track favourite Simon Bent and his daughter Shona. Veterans Ray Gould and Eric Miles will continue to cut more laps at their home track while Rob Bushell, Steven Attewell, Andrew Suckling, Daniel Angus, Marcus Reddecliffe and co will add to the attraction.

Limited Sportsman and the skid kids will also be in action in both VSC and 1200cc SSA Sedans and always put on great racing.

Nyora Raceway would like to publicly thank everyone who helped with the lighting and track improvements over the off season and in particular wish to thank the afore mentioned Kelvin Toogood,  as well as Nick Hance, Ash Rowlands, Daniel Wanders, Lloyd Hobson, Eric Miles, Peter Temby and all the others too numerous to mention. Thanks everyone for a job well done.

Dale Mead will also have his Lightning McMead’s Joy Rides For Kids In Need Commodore on display ahead of the first lucky passenger getting the thrill ride on December 27^th.

With all that on offer, I can’t think of any reason why you shouldn’t make your way to Grundy Avenue, Nyora, this Saturday night for some sensational speedway action.

*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.
