BIANCA Ballantyne, driver of car number 88, has been racing for four years, representing Benalla in the Sports Sedan and Ladies Sports Sedans classes at Wangaratta City Raceway. She drives an EL Ford Falcon and first got into racing thanks to Kenno’s encouragement. When she’s not on the track, Bianca jokes about being a “professional TV watcher.” But on race day, she’s all about giving it her best, respecting every competitor driver who’s out there doing the same. “It’s all about giving it a crack,” she said. She also has a lot of appreciation for Shirley, a volunteer who has dedicated her life to Wangaratta City Raceway. One of her proudest moments was placing in the top 10 in her first Ladies Title, but her favorite racing story involves proving a point. “I was told I’d get smoked by another driver, and I ended up smoking him instead,” she laughed. Bianca is supported by a range of sponsors, including Brody’s Graphix, Aerodrome Automotive, Lincoln’s Earthmoving, North East Tree Services, Spot On Sparky, Highline Racewear, Wangaratta City Raceway, and KJ Racing.
