Exciting racing at Wahgunyah Speedway

WAHGUNYAH Speedway provided another terrific night of entertainment for a large crowd on Saturday night with all club classes in action and wins going the way of Felicity Roycroft in both the Ladies Sports Sedans and the Sports Sedans against the boys. Leighton Evans won Production Sedans, Justin Brockley won the Goulburn Ovens Sedan Association final, Zack Erickson won the Junior Sedans, Peter Schmetzer won the Unlimited Sedans and Michael Fleming-Robertson took victory in the Standard Saloon class. Also, on race night there was some demonstrations from the Vintage Sprintcars and Humpy Holdens (FJ Holdens). In the Goulburn Ovens Sedans Association’s latest points aggregate event, a former Victorian champion came up with a feature race win a week after relinquishing the title to Albury’s Daniel McCarten. Corowa local Billy O’Donoghue claimed a race win in the first of four qualifiers of the night with each driver competing in three of those. O’Donoghue finished ahead of Marcus Maclean and Stuart Balins. Maclean won heat three in front of new Victoria five ranked racer Brandon Lovell and Mitch Watts with Brockley taking a heat win in the last qualifier in front of Robbie Miller and Justin Ewert. Another first-year senior racer Anthony Hanson then won the third heat race in a close finish with Evans followed by Anderson with barely any distance between the three of them. Things changed in the final with Evans driving away from the field out to a seven second margin to claim the victory in front of Hanson, Lack, Creek, and David Lord. Felicity Roycroft won both the Ladies Sports Sedans and the Sports Sedan class. In the Ladies Sports Sedans Roycroft stormed to victory by almost 10 seconds over Chloe Creek and Tarrah Johanson. Another win to Roycroft in the second heat was a much closer affair with Cobie McGraw this time in second and Emma Threlfall third. With six laps allocated for the final Roycroft set about dominating this race with seven and a half second between her and Johanson at the finish line. In the Sports Sedan class Roycroft began the night with a win in front of Rhys Collins and Daryl Joosten. Craig Claridge, who has recently been in Crash and Bash racing, returned to Sedan racing with a win in heat two in front of Tristan McGraw and Bradin Claridge, one of Craig’s sons. Roycroft then won the final heat race, one of five she had won for the night. The up to 1500cc powered Junior Sedans were on track next with Zach Erickson Wangaratta’s number one Junior driver claiming the win in the first of three heats in front of Jaylen Knight and his sister Allie Erickson. Micheal Fleming-Robertson had some stiff competition to compete with in Standard Saloons with Josh Campbell and Trevor Evans on track and Fleming-Robertson got off to a quick start with a win in heat race one over Campbell and Rhyse Lavender. Fleming-Robertson also claimed the win in the second heat race with Evans and Campbell following him before he clean swept the night's qualifying races winning heat three ahead of Campbell and Evans.
