Wingless sprints return for a $1000-to-win feature event with more than 25 cars, while the sports sedans will show with the same sort of numbers in a field that includes Victorian champion Lee Beach.
Wingless sprints — a class that competes with V6 General Motors engines implanted into a sprintcar chassis — will provide plenty of action in its feature event with the likes of Peter and Wayne Logue, both from the Latrobe Valley, in the line-up. The Logues are used to being front-running drivers, especially east of the West Gate Bridge.
Peter and Matthew Thacker from NSW, Aron Lawrence, Kim-Loong Gosling and Thomas McDonald are just some other drivers to keep an eye on.
In a preview to the upcoming Victorian title for sports sedans at Alexandra this season, a great field has entered for Saturday’s Power Series round.
Series front-runners Robert Garlick, Dale Smith, Jamie Paull and Troy Glassborow have nominated and will have their hands full with the regular Alexandra club show racers, widely known as the best in the class, also competing.
Andrew Jordan, Josh Service, Steve Kershaw, Brendan and Damian Miller and Victorian champion Beach are among those.
It would not be a stretch to see an Alexandra club member top five at the end of the final and series competitors will have to be wary of the club racers trying to earn club points towards that championship on Saturday night.
