Cancelled - 9th March Race Meeting

Posted 3rd March, 2013.

Triple feature events announced for 9th March

Posted 5th February, 2013.

Kingaroy Speedway roars back to life on 9th March in a huge way when the Sprintcars return to the showgrounds for a round of the Queensland Club Championship which will attract the finest V8 Sprintcars in the state.  A star-studded line-up of man and machine will be on hard and for those that haven't witnessed V8 Sprintcars in full flight around Kingaroy Speedway, make sure you mark this one in the book because there is nothing more exciting then the "things with wings" doing laps of the showgrounds side by side in only 12 seconds.

But it just won't be Sprintcars head lining the show, when for the first time in history the South Burnett Speedway prepare to present the Triple Feature events for V8 Late Models, Wingless Sprints and Lightning Sprints all on the same night.

After the success of 20/20 cricket and the shortened version of the game, the Kingaroy Speedway who is always looking at making the sport more entertaining, more user friendly and most importantly giving the fans and stands more bang for buck have come up with the Triple Feature concept in which all heat races for the three divisions (Late Models, Wingless & Lightning Sprints) will be scrapped on the night and they will only compete in 3 feature races.  That's right, no heats, just three feature races with all the cars on the track at once and plenty of great action.

So instead of endless amounts of heat racing all night, the more exciting and entertaining program will kick off under lights at 6:30pm and should be finished by no later then 10:30pm.

Hotlap's for all divisions including Time Trials for Sprintcars will be held prior to racing commencing from approx 5:45pm, but as soon as the anthem is sung the show will kick off with the first feature race of the night at 6:30pm.

Sprintcars will run a normal Club Championship format with 2 rounds of heat races and a 30 lap feature race.

So get excited Kingaroy, because the South Burnett Speedway is about to embark on a new and improved version of Speedway and come 9th March we should rock your socks off with a hugely exciting and action packed night racing at the first ever Triple Feature Night.

Mother Nature wins Hams Crane Hire Kings Royal

Posted 25th January, 2013.

It’s with extreme sadness and disappointment that the South Burnett Speedway club is faced with no other option but to cancel the Hams Crane Hire Modified Production Kings Royal.

Obviously, the weather is terrible and with the forecast of plenty more rain to come, the club has decided to make an early call to cancel the event so everyone can stay home or return home and batten down the hatches for the wild weather that is forecasted to hit the region over the coming days. 

This was shaping up to be the biggest event the division and Kingaroy has ever seen and after 18 months of planning, the weather has beaten us and we sincerely feel terrible for everyone, but thankyou all for you support in the Hams Crane Hire Kings Royal.  There will be no-reschedule of this event due to all the racing that is on in the coming months, so the official winner of the first ever Kings Royal will be rain.

Onley Clinches Kingaroy

Posted 16th December, 2012.

NSSS Media Release

Lachlan Onley scored the narrowest win in series history when he edged Wayne Randall and Michael Nicola to win a wild round three of the 2012/2013 National Super Sedan Series at Kingaroy Speedway last night (December 15). Onley pounced from a late-race restart – the only interruption in the 35-lap event – to squeeze past race-long leader Randall and a resurgent Nicola as they swept three-wide under the chequer. Subsequent contact between the trio sent Nicola hard into the wall, a disappointing end to what had been an otherwise great race.

The ensuing scramble saw Dave Gartner snatch fourth from Tony Barklimore, with Brad Smith advancing two positions on the final lap to finish sixth ahead of Kodee Brown and Matt Pascoe, with Steve Jordan and Mark Pagel rounding out the top ten. Jason Campbell was next best ahead of Steve Pearce, who picked up the Queensland Cup for highest placed non-contracted driver. Steve Latham, Lucas Roberts and Michael Doblo completed the finishers.

The first ever NSSS visit to Kingaroy started less than ideally with an overwatered track resulting in an extended delay, however a super-fast surface greeted drivers when racing did commence. Nicola showed signs of what was to come for the three-time national titleholder, romping home to win the first heat. Barklimore and Michael Doblo also triumphed in the opening round.

Brown, Randall and Tim O’Shea were victorious in round two, with Smith, Jordan and Lucas Roberts sharing the spoils in the final round of qualifying. Bill Miller emerged unscathed from a spectacular oil fire in heat four but was unable to take his place in the feature, with Craig Torr, Trent Wilson and O’Shea also failing to make the main event.

The feature race started without incident as the front row starting pair of Randall and Barklimore locked horns and swapped the top spot over the opening two circulations. However, Randall quickly asserted his authority and skipped clear, leaving Barklimore to fend off the advances of Onley, Gartner and, ultimately, Nicola. The race continued at a cracking pace with dices aplenty through the field, the likes of Smith, Jordan, Pascoe, Pagel and Jason Campbell in the thick of the action.

As the laps wound down, Nicola was on a charge reminiscent of his very best form, disposing of Barklimore and Onley and setting sail after Randall. However, with 33 laps completed and Darren Kane stranded against the turn four fence, the only restart ensued, halting Nicola’s momentum and bringing Onley back into the frame. In the green-white- chequer sprint to the end, Nicola persisted with his outside adventures while Onley clung to the bottom, swamping Randall as they charged to the line. In the closest possible result, Onley crossed the line a mere 0.010 seconds ahead to secure the championship lead and win the QSCA Queensland Cup. Kane’s late demise saw him join David Musch, Wayne Brims and Luke Dodding as the only retirees in what was a torrid race.

With the series breaking for the Christmas/New Year period, Onley will head into round four at his home track in Dubbo on January 5 with an 18-point advantage over Pascoe, while Pagel remains third in the standings ahead of Kane, Gartner and Pearce.

National Series Double Header this Weekend

Posted 10th December, 2012.

NSSS Media Release

With the opening round of the 2012/2013 National Super Sedan Series proving a huge success, there is much anticipation for what lies ahead this weekend as teams face another two nights of competition at two vastly different venues. On Friday night (December 14), Gympie’s Mothar Mountain Speedway will serve as he battleground for  round two before Kingaroy Speedway hosts their first ever NSSS fixture on Saturday evening (December 15).

If the level of competition and the quality of racing at Toowoomba is any indication of what is to come, this weekend is shaping as something very special with teams also needing to master the challenge of racing at two different tracks on consecutive nights.

Matt Pascoe, the 2009/2010 series champion, currently leads the title chase following his impressive win in Toowoomba and, with a proven record of success at both Gympie and Kingaroy, he will be confident of consolidating his advantage. However, as has been proven time again in this championship, predicting a winner is fraught with danger due to as the sheer depth of talent amongst the contracted and non-contracted drivers alike.  This year, the contracted driver roster is the strongest ever with competitors from every state, including all previous series champions, amongst the line-up.

Western Australia’s Kodee Brown was strong in Toowoomba in finishing third and two-time series champion Darren Kane was also very solid with a fifth-place finish, however it may be Mark Pagel who proves the man to beat in Gympie. In his first year as a contracted driver, Pagel finished a fine fourth in Toowoomba and the unassuming Gympie resident knows the unique Mothar Mountain track more intimately than anybody else in the field and will not be hampered by the weight of expectation that he will carry into the event. 

Of course, NSW’s Lachlan Onley won the Gympie event last season and will be a strong contender again if he can solve the mystery of the engine misfire that hampered his Toowoomba campaign. Meanwhile, two drivers who also drive the Gympie track particularly well and are desperate for points are Wayne Randall and Steve Jordan.  Both drivers endured frustrations at Toowoomba that impacted severely on their points accumulation and they need to bounce back strongly this weekend.  

Throw in the likes of defending NSSS champion Brad Smith and fellow Tasmanian Steve Latham;  Victoria’s three-time national champion Michael Nicola and five-time state titleholder in Lucas Roberts; a South Australian triumvirate comprising Dave Gartner, Bill Miller and Luke Dodding, along with Tony Barklimore from New South Wales and a Queensland contingent that also comprises Michael Doblo, Jason Campbell and Townsville’s Trent Wilson and picking a likely winner for either event is mission impossible.

Of course, the performances of Steve Pearce and Wayne Brims at Toowoomba demonstrated quite emphatically that a non-contracted driver is more than capable of upstaging the series regulars.  Pearce led for more the half the distance in the opening round feature race and, with experience at both Gympie and Kingaroy, he will be looking for a repeat performance to consolidate his position in the chase for the QSCA Queensland Cup. 

Whilst a couple of drivers will be competing at Gympie for the first time, all of the interstate competitors will be making their first ever appearance at Kingaroy and it remains to be seen whether this provides any distinct advantage to the Queensland contingent. In fact, the Kingaroy showdown is really shaping as a critical chapter in the championship chase as it will be the final event before the competition breaks for Christmas. Certainly, the wide open spaces of the circular Kingaroy showground track are a far cry from the twisty, undulating nature of the Gympie layout, so it will be those competitors who can best adapt to these variances that will ultimately find themselves at the forefront of the championship.

The management teams and staff at both venues have been working overtime to prepare for these events and the race teams will spend this week in preparation for the challenge that awaits them. The weekend festivities will actually get underway in Kingaroy on Thursday night with a NSSS/Kingaroy Speedway display at the annual Christmas Carnival. In addition to the traditional celebrations and carnival activities, there will be official series merchandise for sale and, hopefully, some NSSS stars and cars on display to whet the appetite for local race fans.

Super Sedans Set for Kingaroy Showdown

Posted 29th October, 2012.

SSA Media Release

Defending champion Matt Pascoe joins the field for the first time this season when Roma Windscreens present round three of the Think Money Super Sedan Championship Series at Kingaroy Speedway on Saturday night (November 3). Pascoe will take on more than 20 Super Sedan exponents from throughout Queensland and interstate around the wide open spaces of the of the Kingaroy showground circuit. 

Current series point leader Steve Jordan will be looking to replicate his dominant performance from Toowoomba last Saturday night, while opening round winner Darren Kane will be looking to reassert his authority after an equally impressive performance in Rockhampton earlier this month. Both drivers are former national champions and have earned their status as             co-favourites for the Kingaroy showdown. 

However, there are challengers aplenty within the field, with the New South Wales-based duo of Wayne Brims and Ian Brims at the forefront of this challenge.  Wayne has won the Queensland, New South Wales and Victorian championships, was impressive in Toowoomba with a runner-up result and is rarely outside the top five in any event.  Meanwhile, Ian finished second in this series last season, has been one of the most consistent drivers in the championship for several seasons and is a quiet achiever who should never be discounted as a genuine threat.

Toowoomba’s Sean Black has enjoyed a terrific start to the season and, with fourth-place finishes in the opening two rounds, a podium finish can’t be too far away. Rockhampton’s Craig Torr has also been very strong in both events thus far, clinching third behind Jordan and Brims last weekend.

Meanwhile, the only Kingaroy-based competitor in the field will be David Musch.  With a new car at his disposal this season, Musch has been in good form with top ten finishes in both rounds and he cannot be discounted with strong home crowd support. Other contenders include Jason Campbell, Steve Pearce, Des Korn, Dale Christensen, Kyall Fisher, Barry Craft, Paul Geary, Greg Maher and David O’Keeffe

The night will also feature round three of the Sweet Chassis Development Series as Bundaberg young gun Josh McLaren and defending champ Gordon Shaw continue their battle for supremacy.  Joining them in combat this weekend will be Rodney Craft, Colin Moss and rookie Glenn Willmott.

Each driver will contest two qualifying heats in an effort to secure a place in the semi-finals, the results from which will determine the starting order for the Roma Windscreens-sponsored feature race, to be staged over 30 laps. 

With a huge support program comprising round two of the Wild Desert Modified Sedan Series, Production Sedans and Wingless Sprints, this is going to be a spectacular night of racing under lights in downtown Kingaroy which will also included the crazy rolly polly stunt cars.

The Super Sedan Association is proudly supported by:

Think Money, Sweet Chassis, Hotondo Homes (Rockhampton), Ian Boettcher Race Parts, B&J Car Sales, Old Man’s Garage, Roma Windscreens, J&J Bullbars, Think Investment Realty, Willmott’s Haulage, East Coast Traffic Control, Frater Asbestos & Demolition, Brims Earthmoving, Crisp Panel & Paint, Shock Doctor, Nissan Finance

Need Modified Production Tyres? 'K-Roy' can help you!!!

The South Burnett Speedway Club in conjunction with American Racer Tyre Services, have joined forces in a new and exciting partnership to provide a tyre for the Kingaroy Speedway and the Kings Royal branded “K-Roy”. The tyre compound has been specially formulated in conjunction with the South Burnett Speedway Club and is of a similar design to a normal American Racer “medium” compound but has been constructed to suit a wide range of surfaces from a decomposed gravel/rock mix, right through to sticky clay. At this stage the new 'K-Roy' tyre comes in only one size, that being an '84'...

This is NOT a control tyre for the Kingaroy Speedway or the Kings Royal it is simply an affordable option for drivers and to provide greater value for our Modified Production division and the ever growing competitor base that is now involved in this fantastic division.

Josh Arthur wins epic Queensland Title 

The 2012/13 Queensland Street Sedan Title will go down in history as one of the greatest after a truly amazing, entertaining and action packed 40 lap Championship race last night at the Kingaroy Speedway.

As the cars rolled onto the track for the feature, you could really feel like something special was about to happen and after the driver intro's were done the cars lined up and got away to a frantic start. The opening exchanges saw rookie senior driver, Brody Thomsen get away to an early lead after pole sitter Neil Keldoulis exited the race after getting a flat right rear on the opening corner of the final.

Defending Queensland Champion Tim Atkin started from position 6 and began to work his way to the front. Meanwhile down the back, the likes of Jim Cowley, Chris Elliot and B Main winner Kristian Walker began to make a real charge through the field.

Atkin then challenged for the lead and got passed young Brody Thomsen and was on his way to what looked like his fourth Queensland Title. But Thomsen never gave up and got back into the lead when drama unfolded mid way through the feature race. Thomsen was leading down the back straight when he tipped the BA Falcon into turn three, hitting the cushion, popping the right rear and consequently part spinning to be cleaned up by Gympie's Tim Atkin. Thomsen got out of the car obviously upset with what had happen and after the crowd voiced there cry for the outcome from the incident, Brody took full responsibility for the incident and felt sorry for Atkin having no other option but to run into him. Thomsen got a huge ovation from the big Kingaroy Speedway crowd.

The race restarted with Atkin in the lead and you could of thought that he would run away with the event and it certainly looked that way as he opened up a massive lead and began to work his way through lap traffic when once again a huge change of events would take place on lap 28. As Atkin came passed the control tower coming up on some of the back markers, Kristian Walker who had previously worked his way through the field to only spin out earlier and go back to the rear again, lost his right rear wheel causing him to roll his immaculately presented Commodore upside down, in which race leader Tim Atkin had no where to go, and slammed into the incident, causing major damage to the front end of his VS Commodore. Walker climbed from the wreckage unhurt, but his race was over and then officials began to check over the Atkin Commodore to see if he could continue. The front end of the car was pushed across and with plenty of the front end suspension badly damaged, Atkin was able to continue as everything was still attached and operational all be it, in the wrong places.

By this time Josh Arthur who had been running the race of this life found himself right behind Atkin at the restart. As the green flagged dropped for the final 12 lap sprint to the chequered flag, Atkin led the field away. You could see him fight with his damaged car and after a few laps, Arthur slipped passed Atkin to lead the Queensland Title. Behind him Chris Elliot, Steve Thomsen, Jim Cowley and Tim Atkin engaged in a battle royal with Arthur, in one of the greatest finishes ever seen in a Queensland Title. In the closing stages Arthur withstood some big challenges from Steve Thomsen who looked to have got passed Arthur with only a couple of laps to go, along with an amazing fight for the podium positions between Elliott, Cowley and Atkin. But it was the young flyer Josh Arthur from Hervey Bay who was able to hold on to capture his maiden Queensland Championship just ahead of Maryborough's Steve Thomsen and Kingaroy's Chris Elliot, Sunshine Coast's Jim Cowley and Gympie's Tim Atkin.

The event was run in honour of the late and great Keith Harm and one can only think somewhere in the universe something special happened last night, because at last seasons Keith Harm Memorial Street Sedan event, Josh Arthur gave up his very own car after the heat races, to allow Josh Harm (who blew a motor in his last heat) to run in the his Grandfathers memorial race that night. Last night is a fitting results to what is a wonderful and extremely special story.

The racing throughout the entire weekend from the Street Sedans was great to watch and really showcased what was a fantastic 28th running of the QSCA Inc Queensland Street Sedan Title.

In the other events held on the weekend Aidan Raymont beat home Gavin Fletcher and Victoria's Mark Carlin in the Modified Production feature race.  Earlier in the night Gavin Fletcher set a new lap record of 15.689 seconds lowering the old mark from 16.440 seconds. 

The Junior Sedans South Burnett Shootout was taken out by Jayden Peacock, who narrowly beat home Brendan Learoyd and Paddy Brennan.

In the Kingaroy Gold Cup for 4 Cylinder Sedans Tim Weir snatched victory from James Elliott who
blew a motor on the last corner.  Portland's Sue Healey finished third.

On behalf of the South Burnett Speedway Club we would like to thank everyone that was involved in the event including all the officials, volunteers, drivers, passengers, crews and fans and look forward to seeing you all back for a massive show on 3rd November featuring the "Think Money" V8 Super Sedan Championship Series, Round 2 of the Wild Desert Modified Production Allstars Series, Production Sedans and Wingless Sprints.

Night One was excellent and all systems are go for Night Two 

The racing from the outset was intense and even after half an hour of light rain midway through the program, the track crew worked some magic and was able to get all of the first night's program completed.

After night one, Maryborough's Brody Thomsen sits top of the points in the Queensland Street Sedan Title and is certainly looking like the man to beat with a fantastic performance.

In the Formula 500 feature race, Bundaberg's Mick Pronger raced home to win the 15 lap final from Sunshine Coast's Ken Newton and Brisbane's Murray Gibson.  Dan Scougall rode out a massive crash while running third in the feature race, which saw him invert the Q49 into a series of wild flips and rolls.  Fortunately Dan walked away unhurt from the crash, but his car looked a little second hand after the crash.

Tonight's racing is all systems go at the scheduled time of 4pm.  A big field of 30 Modified Productions are added to the program that also includes the final rounds of heats for the Street Sedan Queensland Title, the 4 Cylinder Sedan Gold Cup and the Junior Sedan South Burnett Shootout.

It is going to be an epic night of action at the Kingaroy Speedway, so make sure you get to the track and don't miss a minute of the action.

Big fields for Huge weekend

Also on the program this weekend is the 4 Cylinder Sedans Gold Cup and the South Burnett Shootout for Junior Sedans who will race on both Saturday & Sunday nights.  Sunday night is going to be huge with a big field of Modified Productions set to hit the track for a local club show, which features newly crowned Queensland Champion Mark Carlin from Victoria, former Queensland Champions Todd Doyle and Aidan Raymont and last weekends Carnival of Flowers Champion Gavin Fletcher. 

After a few changes to the original program, Formula 500's are set to make a return to the venue after around 5 years and although nominations for these guys are still open, a smaller but red hot field is expected to be on hand for night one only (Saturday Night) of the long weekend event.

Nominations close this Sunday

Nominations have been pouring in for the long weekend season opener at Kingaroy Speedway on 29th & 30th September with over 35 Street Sedans locked and loaded to contest the 2012/13 Queensland Title. 

Nominations close this Sunday at 5pm for Modified Productions, Junior Sedans & 4 Cylinder Sedans but over 20 Modified Productions are already in for night two of the weekends event.

Nomination forms are available from the FORMS page of our website.

Unfortunately AMCA Nationals have been cancelled from the program due to lack of nominations, but we look forward to having them back at the show meeting in May next year.

But all systems are go for a massive start to the Kingaroy Speedway season on Saturday & Sunday 29th & 30th September.

Another Practice Night added to the schedule

After the success of practice at Kingaroy Speedway and due to popular demand by many drivers over the past few days, the South Burnett Speedway Club have decided to hold another official practice night on the Friday (28^th September) of the Queens Birthday Long weekend.  This will allow everyone one last chance to have a run on the track before the 2 night race meeting featuring many events including the Queensland Street Sedan Title.

Having the first practice of the season the other night, plenty of drivers just didn’t quite make it to the track and have requested an opportunity to have another chance to run on the track prior to the massive 2 night season opener.

At the club meeting tonight the club have decided to grant this wish and hold a practice on the Friday Night (28^th September), commencing at the later time of 7pm (to allow people to finish work and head over the Kingaroy) and will finish at 10pm.  The cost to practice will once again only be $40 per car and admission will be completely free. 

This will allow everyone not only competing in the Queensland Street Sedan Title, but the other blue ribbon events on that weekend, the opportunity to dial the car in the night prior to the race meeting getting underway.

The practice will be an official open practice night, so any licensed and insured driver can hit the track and a QAS Ambulance will once again be in attendance.

As stated above the practice will commence at 7pm, to allow people to not have to take the day off work to come and attend practice on the Friday Night.

The 29^th & 30^th September race meeting will feature the following events:

    2012/13 Queensland Street Sedan Title

    AMCA Nationals (South Burnett Stampede)

    4 Cylinder Sedans (Kingaroy Gold Cup)

    Junior Sedans (South Burnett Shootout)

    Aussie Stockcars – Saturday Night Only

    Modified Productions – Sunday Night Only

We look forward to seeing you all here for the massive 2 night season opener…

Practice Night hailed a huge success
