Legends Cars are competing yet again at Wahgunyah Speedway, a track the class owner John Dennehy loves very much. Legend Cars are still trying to get a foothold in Victoria in the way of car ownership however Canberra and Goulburn based racers continue to support the venue every time Wahgunyah holds a big event. This week’s state title will be fiercely contested as usual.
Local competitors in the Unlimited Sedan class such as Wayne Eames, Ashley Booker racing for Jason Meyers from Wagga, Corey McDonald from Mount Beauty and James Woods from Wangaratta are excited to have the likes of Anthony McKean, Travis Ramsdale, Danny Smith a former Corowa based farmer now from Horsham and Peter Cox the Victorian champion, in town on Saturday for competition.
