GRANVILLE, NSW (November 2, 2019) — For the second year in a row Robbie Farr made his way to victory lane following his victory during the Sid Hopping Shootout Saturday at Valvoline Raceway. Farr from Aluka, Western Australia drove from third starting spot to pass James Thompson for the lead early in the 30-lap affair. Ben Atkinson made a brief mid-race challenge taking the lead from Farr on lap 15 before Farr took the lead back one lap later. That would be a lead that Farr would not relinquish.
“This place is flat out fun and when you race with good guys, good mates, its it fun,” said Farr about his race with Atkinson and Sammy Walsh for the victory.
Farr dedicated his win to the Hopping family and everything they have done for Australian Speedway. With the uncertainty of the future at Valvoline Raceway when asked how Farr felt about possibly winning the last Sid Hopping Shootout he hoped to be back for years to come.
“I hope to have another crack at it next year.”
Atkinson held on for second with Sam Walsh, Jordyn Brazier, and Matt Dumesny rounding out the top five.
Kaidon Brown backed up his announcement of racing for Matt Wood in America this fall by winning the midget car main event. Mitchell O’Brien won the wingless V6 sprint car feature.
