WESTERN Speedway, Hamilton will come alive tonight, as it hosts the SSA Super Sedan Victorian Title.
Competitors from New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria have nominated for this event, led by Tyson Moon from Bega, who currently holds the Victoria VSSA Series points lead.
Tyson has achieved remarkable success this season, securing victories in all three rounds of the Victorian Super Sedan Series and is poised to continue his strong form.
Jamie Collins has consistently been placed in the Victorian Series so far and hopes to secure his second Victorian Title.
Local Hamilton driver, Brock Atkins, will be driving the second of the Moon Earthworks cars and has recorded a third, fourth and fifth place finish so far in the series, and will no doubt be eager to capture his first victory of the season in front of his home crowd.
Mick Nicola junior gained momentum late in the round at Avalon and will seek to maintain that form as he aims to add another Victorian Title to his resume.
Lucas Roberts - known as the Moama Mauler - will return after missing the Avalon series round due to injury.
As a five-time Victorian Title winner, Roberts will be aiming for victory in the title race.
Ash Bergmeier has also shown solid performance, having finished second in the Victorian Title in 2019, and is looking to go one better.
South Australian driver, Dave Gartner, having recently competed at the Hamilton Practice Day should have a handle on the track and will be determined to start the year with a win.
Additionally former Hamilton local, Todd Aitkins, who now resides in Queensland will pilot his brother’s car, having recently secured a heat win at Moama in convincing style.
Current Australian land speed record holder, Lionel West, also demonstrated impressive form at Moama with a second-place finish in the A Main and will be aiming to build on that success.
Dave Mckenzie is navigating the aftermath of significant damage sustained during the Moama round and is focussed on redeeming his standing with a commendable performance.
Mick Nicola will be competing in Victoria for the first time this season having vehicles based in both Queensland and Victoria.
The former Australian Champion should be a strong contender among the front few rows and chasing the Victorian title.
Danny Amato from Bacchus Marsh, a returning long time Super Sedan driver, appears to have reintegrated into the sport seamlessly despite his absence.
Other South Australian drivers include Paul Blenkiron from Murray Bridge in a new vehicle, alongside Kym Leyson from Salisbury and Chris Ferguson from Meadow.
The race format includes three rounds of heats followed by a 35-lap final.
Tonight’s racing is supported by Junior Sedans with a round of the JSPA series, Production Sedans and Limited Sportsman.
With the season-opening event on November 23 ending prematurely, due to the condition of the track, tonight is shaping up to be a big night of racing for local spectators.
Gates opens at 3pm with racing from 5pm.
