Sprintcar And Midget Double Header; Take Two

From jak industries.media

The Sprintcar and Midget double header originally slated for March 20 at Titan Garages Brisbane International Speedway (BIS) and lost to rain, will now be held this Saturday night April 24.

The Sprintcar portion of the program will be Round 9 of the Qld Speedway Spares Series with thirty one drivers sending in their nominations, while the Midget races will be a points paying race towards the QSRA Club Championship featuring five time NZ Midget Champion Michael Kendall. The NZ star will also compete in the fifty lap Midget event at BIS on May 15 along with reigning NZ Midget Champion Michael Pickens and 2010 Chili Bowl Rookie Of The Year Brad Mosen.

Only four Rounds of the Qld Speedway Spares Series remain and while Pete Thorley extended his lead in the points chase with a fourth place finish in last week’s Feature, realistically the Series is still far from over with Thorley, Richard Morgan and Peter Lack still in the hunt for the Championship. Allan Woods and Andrew Scheuerle currently sit fourth and fifth in the Series respectively and still remain a chance to finish in the top three after the twelfth and final Round on June 5, although time is quickly running out for them to bridge the points gap to the leader trio.

Saturday night’s races continue a busy month for Qld Sprintcar teams with the East Coast Pipelines Qld Sprintcar Title to be held at BIS on Friday night April 30 and Saturday night May 1. James McFadden is the defending Champion and will put his Title on the line next weekend against Qld’s best in Thorley, Scheuerle, Gessner, Wanless, Mann, Hodges, Morgan, Woods and co plus a host of interstate drivers including Robbie Farr, David Murcott, Jamie Veal and Danny Reidy.

This week’s program includes Compact Speedcars, Stock Cars, Club Sedans, and Track Championship races for Ford v Holden and Brisbane Sedans. Early racing from 4:45pm with the main program from 6:00pm. Patrons still holding tickets from the March 20 event lost to rain are reminded that those ticket stubs are able to be used for admission this Saturday night.
