Egel Wins As Open Sprintcars Return To Mildura

Egel Wins As Open Sprintcars Return To Mildura

Last Saturday night Matt Egel performed his iconic “Eagle Wing Dance” in front of a capacity crowd at the B&S Earthworks Timmis Speedway Mildura after an epic battle in Round 4 of the Sprintcars SA Southern Shootout Series. After sitting back for a majority of the race Egel made his move with 8 laps remaining as both Brock Hallet and Luke Dillon hesitated in the lapped traffic sweeping past both drivers to take the lead and, in the process, he closed the points gap on series leader Luke Dillon.

Dillon was able to minimise the damage with a runner-up finish while Ryan Jones, who was playing his double points “Joker card” completed the top three after starting from position thirteen.

“With the track taking rubber Brock and Luke were reluctant to move off the bottom and I felt like was in the best position running third. Brock made the slightest mistake in turn four and I was able to use my momentum to get past both. I am just so proud of this team, we only picked up this chassis earlier this week and Corey Brougham spent the whole week building this car. After the run we have had of late to come back and win tonight is a great result.

We were just lucky the race didn’t go any longer as I don’t think the right rear tyre would have gone an extra lap. I could feel it vibrating pretty bad with about three laps to go and the chords are showing so for once the luck went our way” added Matt following the event.

Fourth place in the main event went to Loxton resident Keke Falland with Daniel Pestka, who was also playing his Joker Card, completing the top five. Lachy McDonough, Steve Caruso, Corey Sandow, Todd Moule and Ryan Newton rounded out the top 10.

After his right rear tyre went down on the final lap Brock Hallett limped home in twelfth position, the final driver on the lead lap.

The only real incident of the main event occurred on lap 8 when the right front wheel came adrift on Chad Ely’s machine. As Ely spun in front of the field Jackson Delamont made contact with the #98 Triple X ending both of their nights.

Earlier in the night Queenslander Ryan Newton kicked the night off in style as he set the quickest time in Revolution Racegear Qualifying with a lap of 11.727 seconds just edging out time trial specialist Luke Dillon (11.799) and Matt Egel (11.828). In what was a dramatic session the top five were only covered by a mere .141 of a second.

With the heat line-ups seeded straight up with no inversion the results went to plan with all six of the front row starters transferring straight into the dash.

Ryan Newton was victorious in the opening Wide Open Clothing Co. / One6 Industries heat race ahead of Jackson Delamont, with Steven Caruso, Keke Falland, Ryan Jones and Parker Scott all gaining a direct transfer into the main event.

Luke Dillon and Will Carroll booked a spot into the dash from heat 2 while Chad Ely, Lachy McDonough, Adan King and Corey Sandow gained the other direct transfers into the 30-lap finale.

The final heat was the only preliminary that wasn’t won from the pole as Brock Hallett raced his way past Matt Egel to greet the chequered flag first with Daniel Pestka, Todd Moule, Ash Cook and local Jason Bolitho completing the top six. Bolitho managed to finish sixth despite bringing out the caution for hitting the turn 1 wall.

Luke Dillon would then go on to win the Showtime Signs Dash ahead of Newton, Hallett, Delamont, Egel and Carroll while rookies Jacob Pitcher and Jason Wilson would gain the final two spots available for the 20-car field by transferring from the Whyalla Earthworks B-Main.

PASCOE PICTURE PERFECT

OFFICIAL RELEASE

SPEEDWAY SEDANS VICTORIA

Matty Pascoe has been crowned the Victorian Super Sedan Champion following a phenomenal feature race at B&S Earthworks Timmis Speedway Mildura that had multiple lead changes and shock DNF’s that kept the crowd guessing constantly!

To kick off proceedings David Nichols was given the first award of the night after being voted as the best presented car and crew award at the Victorian Title.

At the highly anticipated big banks, it was Lucas Roberts in the V0 for Royal Precision Lubricants and Bendigo Metal Fab taking out the first heat win of the day. Lionel West was home in second with Dave Gartner in third.

Matty Pascoe was stout in heat race two, but knew that they had some room to move to make their car better. Michael Hally and David Nichols made up second and third.

This time around for heat 3 it was Zac Pascoe for the Sweet Chassis team with the win, ahead of Dylan Barrow and Jamie Collins.

Round two of heat races saw the blistering sun slickening off the surface a little as Tasmanian Callum Harper was the first to open up the top side winning from Dave Gartner and Mick Nicola Snr.

David Nichols then returned to victory lane, but with a heat winner to go with his Best Presented award this time around. Nichols led home the brothers Brock and Todd Atkins at second and third.

Ash Bergmeier was rampant in heat 6 with another top side showdown that seen the top three spots filled by Steve Jordan and National Champion Trent Wilson.

With the final chance to bank points in heat action reaching a fever pitch, Mick Nicola Jnr had to strike early and did exactly that with a heat win from Brad Pascoe and Dylan Barrow.

Heat 8 was all with the defending Victorian Champion who spoke about how tough the pressure was to defend that state crown, while holding Callum Harper and Trent Wilson out to a half second lead.

The last heat of the night was all in for the Joker Steve Jordan who was flash in his new (borrowed) race suit, Jordan was first home from Michael Hally and Dave Gartner.

Dropping the B Main, cars packed into the Colosseum of Clay that is Timmis Speedway for the feature event looking down the barrel of 23 cars to take the green.

However heartbreak would instill early as pole sitter Dave Gartner would suffer a mechanical failure and bow out of the very first race restart. All the while David Nichols settled into the race lead and began to put solid laps in his book and approaching lap traffic. Lucas Roberts would follow Gartner infield with a similar mechanical gremlin plaguing the V0.

Kemble Aylett would suffer a similar fate in the form of a punctured right rear sending him infield and yellow on the raceway.

On the restart Nichols was the leader but a fast closing Dylan Barrow and Matty Pascoe were lurking with Intent. Kym Leyson and Brock Atkins would also head to the lawn, with the race contender David Nichols being forced to retire. Within a couple laps Callum Harper also headed down there with a fast race car unable to finish.

Dylan Barrow now went to work on Pascoe before making the move and locking it down for 10 or so laps, before a gremlin started to rear its head, and an eventual flat tyre would also spoil the hopes of the Barrow #17. With Pascoe back to the front he just had to settle the ship, and managed to do exactly that.

Pascoe led home from there, Ash Bergmeier and Mick Nicola Jnr from Brad Pascoe and Trent Wilson making up the official top five.

Tyson Moon was home in sixth, with Jamie Collins, Michael Hally, Mick Nicola Snr, Zac Pascoe, Todd Atkins, Travis Ramsdale, Paul Blenkiron, Lionel West and Steve Jordan adding to the last of the finishers in this Victorian Super Sedan Title.

Quinn wins the Col Beasley Classic

On a very stormy night at Timmis Speedway, South Australian Brendan Quinn has taken out Round 2 of the Flocon Australian Sprintcar Allstars Series.

A couple of short rain delays held up the start of the feature race but the re-working of the track made for a very fast race.
Quinn would start out of P2 along side Chad Ely on the front row, followed by Keke Falland and Mark Caruso off row 2. He passed Ely for the lead early in the race, with Mark Caruso moving up to second and followed Quinn very closely through lapped traffic.
On lap 18 Caruso made contact with a lapped car causing him to flip onto his side and ended his race.
Chad Ely was now second on the restart and stuck by Quinn for the rest of the feature but was unable to make a move. Rusty Hickman had started 14th in the feature and had worked his way up to third.

Sprintcar Allstars November 4 Rescheduled

The committee unfortunately wish to advise that the start of the season has had to be postponed once again.

Works have been happening at a rapid rate in recent times, this week we were due to start crucial ground works for the new electrical system along with the continuation of preparing the new racing surface to hit our November 4 dead line. Yesterday we received in excess of 35mm of rain and this has delayed these works by at least a week.

So the meeting scheduled for November 4th (Col Beasley Classic) has been rescheduled to December 9th. We would like to thank Mandy Searle & the Australian Sprintcar All Star Series for working with us in a rapid manner to be able to reschedule this meeting. Unfortunately, the Speedcars are no longer available for the rescheduled date but we will continue to work with these guys to plan a run latter in the year or next season as we we’re super excited to have the Speedcars back at B&S Earthworks Timmis Speedway.

Our opening meeting will now be the Ross Crick Memorial on November 18 with one maybe two scheduled practices to happen in the lead up to the opening meeting.

Keep an eye on social’s for updates & also a scheduled working bee to be held next Saturday & Sunday (October 14 & 15) with more details coming during the week.
