PLENTY OF ACTION STILL TO COME IN SUMMER OF SPEED

There is still plenty of exciting racing coming you way in the remaining month of the season at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway. 

The most important event on the Australian speedway calendar – the 2008 Rod Bowen Prestige Smash Repairs Australian Sprintcar Championship – was unfortunately rained out on March 29th and has now been rescheduled once again this time to Saturday, October 4, which will be the first mahjor speedway event of the 2008/2009 season. 

The National Championship will now be finalised in a one night event and the title will resume where the championship left off following the running of the heats on Saturday, February 2.  

The original race dates of January 31, February 1, 2  and 3 and the re-scheduled February 9 and March 29 dates were all seriously affected by wet weather, though on the first night time trials were completed before the venue was hit with a torrential downpour.  

All heats were completed on Saturday the 2nd of february before Sunday the 3rd was also rained-out, so the re-running of the championship final programme will consist of respective D, C, B Mains, 2 x A and 2 x b main Scrambles and title-deciding Rod Bowen prestige Smash Repairs Championship Grand Final.  

The top ten in the points at the completion of the heats are as follows:

Garry Brazier (84 points); Ken Sartori (83.5); Adrian Maher (82.5); Kerry Madsen (81.5); Ian Loudoun (81); Ian Madsen (80); Robbie Farr (77); Max Dumesny (76.5); Grant Tunks (75) and Sam Walsh (75). 

Brazier was the star of the heats and emerged unbeaten from his two starts. 

Despite the rain, there was plenty of great racing during December and January. 

December was highlighted with the return of the World Series Sprintcars Championship to TPCR after an absence of several seasons.  

The series, this season run with sponsorship support from Wanless Wastecorp, provided a great night of sprintcar racing and Garry Brazier took out the event with a slashing performance. 

While the Americans dominated the international events at the high time of the season, two of TPCR’s home-grown stars – Skip Jackson and Robert Farr – really stood out against the best sprintcar drivers in the world. 

Skip took out the main event in early January against the American onslaught, while Sydney’s Robbie Farr drove one of the best races of his career when he won Night Two (the final night) of the East Coast Pipeline-sponsored Outlaws Down Under V. 

That was a red letter day for Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway as Farr was followed across the line by current national Champion Brooke Tatnell.  

The Australian challenge to the Americans in the Outlaws events each year has become stronger, so it was only a matter of time before an Aussie made the breakthrough. 

But to have two of TPCR’s finest finish first and second was the added bonus – and so indicative of the improvements made in local sprintcar racing since the introduction of Outlaws Down Under back in 2004. 

Meanwhile, the NSW Sprintcar Championship – that was originally set down for March 29 before the Australian Championship rescheduling, will now be held on April 19. 

This will be the final sprintcar show of the season, however the TPCR 2007-2008 racing term does not conclude until May 3. 

The Grand Final of the Coca-Cola Sprintcar Track Championship is set down for April 5. 

The annual Speedcar 50-lapper will be contested on April 26 as part of one of TPCR’s annual big shows that features the annual 'Karavan 4 Kidz', caravan, boat and dunny derby. 

This is one of the family fun-filled entertainment nights each season in which proceeds from the evening go to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. 

TPCR’s final show of the 2007-2008 season will feature the running of the New South Wales Formula 500 Championship and the RSA (Restricted Streetstock Association) Australian Championship. 

Make sure you’re trackside at TPCR for the remainder of the season because there’s still plenty of exciting racing planned before the curtain finally comes down on the 2007-2008 term.
