Action returns to Simpson Speedway
ACTION returns to the track at the Simpson Speedway this weekend, with the season opener scheduled for Saturday.
The Victorian Formula 500s will be hitting the track, with both the senior and junior divisions on the program.
With nominations still open, it is looking like a very healthy number of cars set to contest their respective series.
Tim Rankin is in hot form, coming off a win at Premier Speedway in the Jack Wilsher Cup.
Australia 1 Dylan Beveridge will be out for redemption after pulling in-field leading the race.
Hot on their heels will be Liam Russell who came second to Tim Rankin in Jack’s cup.
In the juniors, locals Rusty Ponting, coming off a win at Premier, and Hugo Chivell and Zac Steven’s (in hot form from Cobden) will also be in action on the weekend.
The Victorian Wingless Sprints will be out to challenge Bullring for round two of the Super Series.
Currently 27 cars have nominated on the AWSR website.
Fan favourite class, the Super Rods, are a sure bet to put on some great racing as always.
With most of the drivers generally treating this weekend as their first round, there should be plenty of lumpy V8s tipping into turns one and two.
Gates open at 4pm with cars on track from 5pm.
