EMMA Threlfall, driving Wangaratta car 25, has been racing for nearly two years in the Ladies class at Wangaratta City Raceway. Hailing from Bendigo, Emma works in traffic control when she’s not on the track, where she races a BA Falcon. She first got into speedway through the Claridge family and hasn’t looked back since. One of Emma’s proudest moments came at her very first meeting, where she landed a spot on the podium. “That’s a feeling you never forget,” she said with a smile. Her ambition now is clear: to win her first feature race. When asked who she respects most on the track, Emma was quick to answer. “Anyone who’s out there giving it a go,” she said. As for the volunteers at Wangaratta, she appreciates them all - “None of us could do what we love without them,” she said. Emma’s sponsors, including Total Tools Bendigo, Claridge House Removalists, and Goodyear Autocare Bendigo, help keep her racing dreams alive. You can follow her journey on Facebook at Claridge Motorsport.
