Van Zeeland wins epic Late Model Title

Posted 5th May, 2013.

The build up was big and the racing didn't disappoint, as a star studded field of Late Models turning out for the Queensland Late Model Title held at the annual show meeting on Saturday Night.

Gold Coast's Aaron Van Zeeland raced down and passed Dave Robertson on the second last lap to win a nail biting Queensland Championship in front of a massive show crowd at the Kingaroy Speedway.  Van Zeeland started from pole position but soon dropped back to second position as Robertson surged from down the back of the field around the fence to open up a big lead during the thirty lap championship race.  Robertson who stayed on the top ran a brilliant race, but Van Zeeland edged closer to narrowly slip pass and become the first ever Queenslander to win the Queensland Title.  Sydney Duo Dave Robertson and Ben Nicastri rounded out the top three in a wonderful night of Late Model racing at the Kingaroy Speedway.

Earlier in the night Sydney's Graham Lillford smashed the old lap record by lowering it to 13.798 seconds, which is over half a second fastest then the old mark.

Heat wins during the night went the way of Nathan Disney, Graham Lillford, Ben Nicastri and Aaron Van Zeeland.  Local hopes Travis and Ashley Barron unfortunately got caught up in some opening lap incidents which saw both retire early from the feature race.

In the other events on the night, newly crowned New South Wales Champion David Jacobi won a brilliant Modified Sedan feature race by the narrowest margin over Todd Doyle and Gavin Fletcher.  Kingaroy's Brett Barron was the best of the locals finishing fourth just behind the front three which battled epically for the duration of the Modified Sedan feature race.

The Street Sedan feature was taken out by Queensland Champion Josh Arthur who showed his class during an impressive display of driving during the night.  Bundaberg's Mostert Woodrow finished second just ahead of Kingaroy's Jack Stead.

Moranbah's Brandon Atto won the Junior Sedan feature race from Carter Armstrong and Steven English.

The club now breaks for the off season and prepares for a massive season which gets underway in September.  For all the details of the proposed 2013/14 calendar, get out the calendar page on this website.

Shane MacDonald wins Queensland Title

Posted 7th April, 2013.

Shane MacDonald proved last night at Kingaroy, that a week is a long time in Speedway, when he won the Queensland Modified Sedan Title, at the Kingaroy Showgrounds venue.

 

A week previous MacDonald failed to qualify for the A Main in the Australian Title, ultimately finishing fifth in the B Main.

 

Last night, in front of a near capacity crowd, Shane MacDonald would start the gruelling 40 lap main event from position eight, while newly crowned National Champion Aidan Raymont would start on pole position.

 

Raymont and fellow front row starter Brett Barron traded the lead early, while behind them Greg Worling, Mark Raymont and David Jacobi continually traded places through the first ten laps.

 

MacDonald had moved from eighth to sixth in the open quarter of the race, before rapidly moving to third.  Raymont shrugged off the challenge from Barron, who dropped back to as low as fifth, with Raymont now having to contend with Mark Raymont, and soon after MacDonald.  The three way battle, saw Mark Raymont momentarily hold the lead after fifteen laps, as the National Champion went from first to third, with the Raymont duo separated by MacDonald.

 

A lap later MacDonald took the lead, as Aidan Raymont passed Mark Raymont to move back to second.  At the half way mark, the race had turned into a thriller, with Barron, Jacobi and Brett Baxter filling the top six places.  With ten remaining, Baxter made his move, taking fourth place, as the battle between the Raymonts continued, with Mark moving back ahead of Aidan.   Mark Raymont hit the lead with seven laps remaining, setting up a thrilling finish.

 

Mark Raymont held the lead for two laps, before MacDonald took it back again with five laps remaining, with a great outside move, with MacDonald persisting on the outside throughout the 40 laps.

 

The demise of Aidan Raymont with a broken right rear shock, saw Baxter move to third, as Raymont chased Macdonald to the chequered flag.  In a thrilling finish, MacDonald took the victory by a mere 0.173.

 

Behind MacDonald and Raymont, Brett Baxter finished clear in third with David Jacobi holding fourth while Gavin Lorensen and Glenn Pagel, who both finished on the National podium a week prior, would round out the top six.

 

The Modified Sedan action continues this weekend, with the NSW State Title at another Showground, Lismore.

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.

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!!!

Posted 18th October, 2012.

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.
Mark Cooper the Director of American Racer Tyres Services is extremely excited about releasing this new tyre into Queensland and is looking forward to working with the South Burnett Speedway to make this product a huge success for everyone involved in Modified Productions.

“Look at the strength of the division in Queensland, it is huge, and to now be able to partner up with a local track to supply the ‘K-Roy’ tyre, really opens up a lot of possibilities for the future and I’m really excited about making this a successful venture for both parties”, Cooper remarked.

These “K-Roy” tyres will go on sale from the South Burnett Speedway club after the weekend, and for more information about them, please contact either Travis Barron on 0428 643 085 or Tanya Barron on 0427 643 085. The cost per tyre will be finalised in the coming days, but will be at very competitive current market prices, but all profits from these ‘K-Roy’ tyres will be put 100% go back into the South Burnett Speedway Club to be spent on the Modified Production division in Kingaroy.

South Burnett President Ashley Barron had this to say about the new ‘K-Roy’ tyres:

“Let’s not be mistaken, this isn’t a control tyre, it is simply a way for our club to provide great value tyre option at great prices to all the Modified Production drivers and owners that regularly support us. The bonus is, that 100% of the proceeds go back into our local club which will be used to be put back into the Modified Production division and there prize pools at future events in Kingaroy”, Barron stated.

Josh Arthur wins epic Queensland Title 

Posted 1st October, 2012.

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 

Posted 30th September, 2012.

Although only 500 people braved the windy and then damp conditions, there support and dedication was rewarded with a great night of racing on night one of the Queensland Street Sedan Title. 

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.

Posted 20th September, 2012.

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

Posted 4th September, 2012.

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 (28th 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 (28th 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 29th & 30th September race meeting will feature the following events:

    2012/13 Queensland Street Sedan Title

    AMCA Nationals (South Burnett Stampede)

Street Sedan Queensland Title returning to Kingaroy in September
Posted 9th August, 2012.

Street Sedans have played a huge part in the success of the Sedan racing in Queensland, and in more recent times been the back bone of our tracks located in the South East of the state. On 29th & 30th September, the 28th Annual running of the Queensland Street Sedan Title will be held at Kingaroy Speedway on the new Queens Birthday Long weekend and is already shaping up to be a massive weekend, as drivers new and old look at etching their name on the winner’s trophy, that will this year be named in the honour of the late and great Keith Harm.

Since the first state title was held at Mothar Mountain Speedway in 1986, the division has seen some fantastic events, and although this will be the first time the Queensland Title has been held at the start of the season, it is expected that a great field of competitors will turn out for only the sixth Queensland Street Sedan Title held in the Peanut Capital.

After the first two titles where held in Gympie, Kingaroy got the opportunity to host the event in 1988 which was won by Lawrie Christensen. Three years later the title returned to Kingaroy and was won by local club member Chris Kidd in 1991. Eight years later in 1999 home town hero Craig Harm won his second state championship in front of a big home crowd and in 2003 the fourth state title was held in the South Burnett with Daryn Brims winning on that occasion, which meant he became only the second person to win back to back Queensland Championship (the other is Kingaroy’s Brett Barron who successfully completed this in 1994 & 95). Just prior to the venue shutting its doors for a few seasons the last title Kingaroy held was in 2007 when Jim Cowley won the Division One title with Aaron Broadbridge winning the Division Two Championship.

Some fantastic drivers have won the Queensland Street Sedan Title over the years and of recent times Gympie’s Tim Atkin has won three, state Championship making him the most successful driver in the 27 year history of the event. This is closely followed by Daryn Brims, Brett Barron & Craig Harm who have all won the title on twice.
In the battle of the clubs, Gympie Saloon Car Club has produced the most amount of Champions, with eleven division one state titles and two division two titles, but the South Burnett Speedway Club Inc sits second overall with seven state championships being recorded next to the clubs name.

So when 29th & 30th September comes around everyone will all have their eyes on the big prize and that is to win the 28th Annual Queensland Street Sedan Championship, and question one everyone’s lips will be, will it be a first time winner, will someone become a multiple state champion or will Tim Atkin be able to notch up his fourth Queensland Championship.
Nomination forms for the title have been emailed out to everyone already, and will receive them in the mail over the coming days. The Nomination form will also shortly available on the QSCA website along with the all new QSCA Facebook page as well.

The QSCA have decided to once again keep Nomination Fees to the reduced $70 fee, and have also decided to make all State Championship this season, have free Transponder Hire.

Nominations close on Friday 31st August.

Kingaroy Speedway will also be holding a Practice Night on Saturday 1st September at the cost of only $40 per car, which will give all Street Sedan drivers a great opportunity to have a run on the track prior to the Queensland Title. For more information on the practice night, check out
www.southburnettspeedway.com or visit the Kingaroy Speedway Facebook page.

NSSS Double Header Confirmed for Queensland

NSSS Media Release - Posted 11th July, 2012.

One of the fundamental elements to the success of the National Super Sedan Series has been the willingness of host tracks to step outside their traditional Saturday night scheduling and work collaboratively with other venues in the interests of minimising the burden of travel for participating competitors. Therefore, series organisers are very pleased to announce that Mothar Mountain Speedway and Kingaroy Speedway will host rounds two and three of the 2012/2013 National Super Sedan Series on December 14 and 15 respectively.

The two events will be staged on the weekend immediately following the opening round of competition at Toowoomba’s Charlton Raceway, continuing the traditional three-round tournament that will again comprise the QSCA Queensland Cup. The earlier start to the championship is expected to prove popular with competitors and a bumper field seems certain to descend on Queensland for four fabulous nights of racing.

The willingness of the Gympie Saloon Car Club to stage a Friday night fixture and thereby enable Kingaroy to host a series round for the first time on Saturday evening is a magnanimous gesture that ensures maximum return for competitors taking part in the opening week of competition. Last season, Gympie staged a Thursday night fixture on December 29 and were rewarded with a packed house, and are no doubt hoping that a Friday night staging this season will lure even more people to the unique hillside circuit. Gympie Saloon Car Club President Allan Jennings is excited about the event, stating that “last year the NSSS event attracted our biggest crowd of the season, so a Friday night round this year will hopefully bring even more people to watch Australia’s best drivers in action”.

The South Burnett Speedway Club, promoters of Kingaroy Speedway, is delighted at the opportunity to stage an event of this stature given the rocky road the club has traversed in recent seasons. According to club President Ashley Barron, “to be associated with the National Series is great for Kingaroy. The feedback from the drivers who visited the circuit last year has been positive and we can’t wait”. “To come back from the brink only two years ago to be running a round of the National Series, we are over the moon. We are getting more support from spectators and local businesses, so to get cars from all over Australia is great for Kingaroy”, he added.

In joining the series, Kingaroy Speedway becomes the 21st different venue to host a NSSS series round since the championship began in 2006 and NSSS Manager Tony Parkinson is very pleased with the level of support from Queensland once again. “Working with Gympie and Kingaroy has been a pleasure and we are excited to have Kingaroy join the series. We strive to minimise the travelling costs for the teams throughout the series. To have Gympie and Kingaroy working together will provide joint promotion benefits and the teams benefit because they will now be travelling to Queensland for four nights of racing over two weekends. Of course, we also welcome the continued support of the QSCA with the Queensland Cup.”

The opening round of the 2012/2013 National Super Sedan Series will be a two-night event at Toowoomba’s Charlton Raceway on December 7 and 8. The remainder of the 2012/2013 championship schedule is close to finalisation and further dates will be released as soon as they are confirmed, so stay tuned to
www.nationalsupersedanseries.com for more information.

The 2012/2013 National Super Sedan Series is proudly supported by the following sponsors:
Speedway Australia, Speedway Sedans Australia, American Racer, Oval Express, Super Charge Batteries, Shock Doctor, JD Couriers, Bob Jane T-Marts (Modbury), Hoosier Tires

 

"Wild Desert" Modified Production Allstars Series

Posted 10th July, 2012.

The “Wild Desert” Modified Production Allstars Series is back bigger and better in 2012/13 and will be held over five gruelling rounds at five different tracks.

The Series will kick off on 27th October at Mothar Mountain Speedway in Gympie and it will be a few years since a series round has visited the Gold City and I know everyone will be eager to get off to a great start on the mountain.

A week later the series will visit Kingaroy Speedway for Round 2 and this event will no doubt be well supported as this doubles as the final hit out on the venue before the Kings Royal on the Australia Day long weekend.

For the first time ever, Roma Speedway will host the third round on 24th November and with the local backing of our major sponsor Wild Desert Oil & Gas Field Services who service Roma and the Surat Basin, this will be a huge event and will no doubt see a capacity crowd turn out to see the mighty Modified Productions back at the venue which has recently undergone a massive amount of improvements and upgrades.

With a busy summer period the Wild Desert Allstars Series has a bit of lay off before heading to Lismore Showgrounds for the fourth round on 9th February. Lismore Speedway has always been a huge supporter of Modified Production racing and once again the local club are chomping at the bit to have another big field of cars at the always exciting Lismore Speedway.

Charlton Speedway in Toowoomba will play host to the final round of the Wild Desert Allstars Series and that will be held on 2nd March, which will be the final hit out anywhere for a lot of competitors before the Australian Title being held in Toowoomba at Easter only a few weeks later.

Wild Desert is an oil and gas well servicing company based in Roma, Queensland, the heard of the Surat Basin and the company was established in 2005 & has since grown to incorporate well serving rights, logistic services,, rig camps and a workshop for the fabrication & Maintenance of all there equipment. Wild Desert is always looking for new employees to head west to the beautiful town of Roma and if anyone is interested in applying for a position with Wild Desert, they can visit there website,
www.wilddesert.com.au.

The Series will boost a big payout of “cash” to the top 20 in the series with the winning taking home a big trophy and of course a winners cheque of $2000. Each round will pay $1000 to win but also see increased payout per round paying down to 10th place along with the traditional $100 minimum guarantee from 11th onwards.

Although it is a big season, we were able to successfully schedule this series and series rounds at events already on the calendar and although we have like to take the series to more venues it physically isn’t possible with the huge season already planned.

Series Dates

Round 1 – Mothar Mountain Speedway, Gympie – 27th October, 2012.

Round 2 – Kingaroy Showgrounds, Kingaroy – 3rd November, 2012.

Round 3 – Roma Speedway, Roma – 24th November, 2012.

Round 4 – Lismore Showgrounds, Lismore – 9th February, 2013.

Round 5 – Charlton Raceway, Toowoomba – 2nd March, 2013.

As you can see, this is going to be another fantastic series and I would once again like to sincerely thank Wild Desert Oil & Gas Field Services for joining forces with the working party to bring you the Wild Desert Allstars Series. And after the five nights of racing across two states and five different venues, the driver with the biggest bag of points will be crowned the Wild Desert Allstars Series Champion.

Show Meeting - simply sensational

Posted 7th May, 2012

Phrases like "Meeting of the year", "best Speedway ever", don't get thrown around very often, but last night thousands and thousands of people turned out to watch annual Show Meeting at the Kingaroy Showgrounds which was a huge hit.

Modified Productions headlined the show and put on some nail biting racing which ended up seeing Kingaroy's David Barbeler getting the epic 25 lap feature race.  Barbeler worked his way through the field to get past Toowoomba's Peter Gary on the final corner to win an thrilling feature race in front of his home crowd.  Hervey Bay's Steven Zahl finished third.  It has been some time since David Barbeler stood on the top spot of the podium, but he certainly showed the big local crowd that there is still plenty of life in the those legs yet.  The feature race had everything from great side by side racing along with plenty of drama and some big rollovers.  Kingaroy's Stephen "Chook" Gertiz rode out a massive rollover mid way through the final while running 5th.  Geritz walked away unhurt from the crash but the SB10 EL Falcon was junked in the accident.  And then only a few laps later Dalby's Mick Shelford rode out a big crash in turn 3 which saw him land on Jessica Raymont's AU Falcon.  Both drivers where once again un-injuried in the crash. 

But the story of the night and the final, was the dominating performance of Gympie's Aidan Raymont who won all three heat races and took up the Toowoomba Steering and Suspension back of the bus Challenge which meant he started from the rear of the final.  Raymont started from position 20 in the feature and passed every single car around the outside to get to the lead within 15 laps.  While leading Raymont suffered a broken shock causing him to retire from the race. 

Kingaroy's Ben Stead had a perfect night in the Street Sedans by winning all three heat races along with the 20 lap feature race.  This has capped off an amazing season for the youngster who has been extremely fast in the little Honda. 

In the other events Ken Crompton took out the Wingless feature, Carter Armstrong won the Junior Sedan feature (that also saw a first lap rollover for Jayden Peacock - who was un-injuried in the massive crash) and although the Q52 Lancer of Al Mathers crossed the line first in the 4 Cylinder feature race, it was later discovered that Al substituted Ian Jones into the car, so the officials later disqualified the car from the event, meaning second place Joel Thomas (on debut) ended up with the win. 

So after a fantastic season, the South Burnett Speedway club now has a well earned break until racing returns in the new season for the Queensland Street Sedan Title on 29th & 30th September.

From everyone at the club, we would like to sincerely thank all the drivers, volunteer officials and the massive crowds who have supported the race track during the season, as because of your support, the Kingaroy Speedway keeps going from strength to strength and looks forward to returning bigger and better in 2012/13.

Posted 15th April, 2012

After winning the New South Wales Title in Lismore only one week ago, Kevin Britten has raced home to win the 2012 Queensland Title for the Dirt Modifieds last night at Kingaroy Speedway.  It was a night of fierce racing, intense battles and plenty of thrills and spills after only 8 cars finishing the 30 lap feature race.  Sydney's Andrew Pezzutti ended up finishing second behind Britten after an amazing drive from 16th starting position in the A Main.  Paul Booker finished third just ahead of Victorian Daniel Scott and Queenslander Kelvin Hamilton. 

In the other events, Hervey Bay's Josh Arthur held on to win a thrilling Street Sedan feature race ahead of Bundaberg's Richie Woodrow and Roma's Aaron Alcock.  The Super Street final was won by Gympie lady racer Jessica Raymont would got by Mitchell Slade in the closing stages of the race to beat him home and Neil Keldoulis.  The 4 Cylinder Sedan feature was taken out by Hervey Bay's Hamish Redman who out-lasted, out-witted and out-lasted the fellow competitiors in a fantastic feature race.  Redman beat home Tim Weir and Peter Kluytenberg.

The Kingaroy Speedway now have a few weeks off until the season finale at the annual Show Meeting on Sunday 6th May.  Modifeid Productions, Street Sedans, Junior Sedans, 4 Cylinder Sedans and Wingless Sprints make up the big program which should see a huge crowd as the Show Society have slashed admission prices to this event to only $10 for the night.

Pascoe wins a thriller

Posted 5th March, 2012

Brisbane Mat Pascoe has raced home to win Saturday nights thrilling round of the Hotondo Homes Super Sedan Championship Series in front of 1500 at Kingaroy Speedway.   After starting from pole position during the feature race, Mat raced out to an early lead, but was gunned down by Steve Pearce who entered into a sensational battle in lap traffic.  Pascoe and Pearce battled for position right across the track that provided multiple lines of racing on the very much improved new racing surface.  Pascoe eventually got back into the lead and held off a late charge from newly crowned Tasmanian Champion Wayne Randall who finished second ahead of Wayne Brims.  Kingaroy's David Musch finished 7th.

In the Modified Productions, the dominance of Gympie's Aidan Raymont continued after another great performance to win Round 5 of the Quantum Racing Industries South West Allstars Series.  Raymont once again qualified from the front row of the grid, but fellow Gympie flyer Brett Baxter got out to an early lead, but was eventually overtaken by the flying Raymont.  Gavin Fletcher finished third.  Kingaroy's Stephen "Chook" Geritz was the best of the locals finishing 8th among the 40 strong car field that was on hand on Saturday Night. 

Toowoomba's Tim Smith capped off a great season for the youngest who raced home to win the Junior Sedan Queensland Title.  This season Smith finished third in the Australian Title, won the Northern Territory Title and has now captured his first Queensland Championship.  Smith battled his way through lap traffic with great professionalism and class, and held off Brisbane's Jordan Ferguson and Maryborough's Brody Thomsen.  Kingaroy's Hayden Jones drove well beyond his year to qualify through the B main to then go on to finish 7th in the Queensland Title.  Fellow Kingaroy Jordan Wilson had engine troubles early in the night forcing him to watch on from the sidelines.

The South Burnett Speedway club now prepare for the 2012 Queensland V8 Dirt Modified Title which will be held right here on Saturday 14th April.

Another fantastic field of 41 Modified Productions will contest Round 5 of the Quantum Racing Industries South West Allstars Series and they locals want revenge after last months thumping, but they are all trying to chase Gympie's Aidan Raymont who holds a commanding 100 point lead.

38 of the future stars of the sport will contest the 2012 Queensland Title for the Junior Sedans and local hopes Hayden Jones and Jordan Wilson take on a talented group of drivers including South Australian Jesse Arthur and Queensland Champion Michael Learoyd.

Racing will commence at 4pm with Super Sedans hitting the track for hotlaps around 6pm.  For a full list of nominations please visit our facebook page, "Kingaroy Speedway".

"Saturday Night is Speedway Night"

Practice has been cancelled due to heavy rain

Posted 23rd February, 2012

After heavy rain and storms have lashed the area over the past couple of days, the South Burnett Speedway club have been left with no other option but to cancell this Saturday Night's Practice.  Over 120mm (nearly 5 inches) of rain has fallen in Kingaroy during the past two days and by the looks of the forecast the region can expect plenty more heavy rain and storms in the coming days including this weekend.

Although this is a huge dissappointment for the club, it now turns it attention to the next race meeting being held on Saturday 3rd March, featuring the next round of the Super Sedan Hotondo Homes (Rockhampton) Championship Series, Round 5 of the Quantum Racing Industries Modified Production South West Allstars Series and the Junior Sedan Queensland Title.   Just a reminder that nominations for Super Sedans and Modified Productions close this Sunday.

Practice this Saturday is still go

Posted 19th February, 2012

With the finishing touches to the new and improved surface at the Kingaroy Speedway being completed this week, the South Burnett Speedway club would like to remind all interested competitors, that the practice at the Kingaroy Speedway this Saturday Night is still going ahead as planned.

Practice will commence at 5pm and run until approx 9pm.  Practice will only cost $20 per car and admission for everyone is free.  Queensland Ambulance Service will be in attendance and practice will be open to all divisions (providing you are registered, insured and licenced).

Also, nominations for Round 5 of the Modified Production Quantum Racing Industries South West Allstars Series to be held the following weekend (3rd March) close this Sunday 26th February at 5pm.  Nomination forms are available on the forms page of this website.

We look forward to seeing at practice this Saturday Night.

Practice Added to Schedule

Posted 23rd January, 2012

The South Burnett Speedway has added a special Practice Night on Saturday 25th February to the schedule, which is one week before the next race meeting which will see V8 Super Sedans (Hotondo Homes Championship Series), Modified Productions (Quantum Racing Industries South West Allstars Series) and the Junior Sedan Queensland Title.

The organising committee of the South Burnett Speedway have already started replacing the entire track surface and are hopefully the new and improved surface will be a huge improvement and would like to give the surface a shake down before the next race meeting, hence the practice night.  The new surface will be laid on a new base and the clay will be mixed with some good quality deco, which provide a great new racing surface for every single division.

The Practice Night will commence at 5pm and will only cost $20 per car to attend and admission will be free.  Queensland Ambulance Service will be in attendance as well as a full rescue and crash crew.

The South Burnett Speedway club are determined and committed to get this racing surface right so all the big dollar shows and state & national titles that they have organised, go ahead as planned on a fantastic racing surface at a new and improved venue.
