ROSS RECORDS TITLE WIN!

Last night seen Heytesbury Stockfeed Simpson Speedway host an action-packed night of racing as it played host to this year’s Wingless Sprint Victorian title thanks to The Tyre Factory Warrnambool.

With a monster field of almost 60 cars assembled points were at a premium, after 3 rounds of heats which totaled a whopping 15 heat races it was time for the business end.

B Main #1 would see V23 Tim Van Ginnekin, V95 Geoff Cook & S35 Mitchell Broome advance to the final three inside row positions, while B Main #2 seen V93 Travis Millar, V31 Mick Rigby & V14 Glenn Watts  transfer to the remaining three outside positions in the 30lap feature.

The scene was set with 20 cars locked in, the moment drivers had been waiting for was kicked off by completing the four wide salute showing fans their appreciation, an epic sight for all at the venue and watching live via stream thanks to Dream Multimedia.

.VX89 Christopher Temby & V77 Alex Ross would make up the front row after both taking out heat race wins earlier in the night, these drivers would set the tone early as the green flag dropped. By the time lap one was completed VX50 Luke Wheel would lead a three-way battle continuing at the point for majority of race lap distance.

Fans were treated to an epic display of slide jobs throughout the full 30 laps, but it was the final 10 laps which had everyone on the edge of their seats, Ross was on a charge as he chucked in a monster slider in turn 1 & 2 which didn’t pay dividends this time by but would open the door as lap traffic started to play into the hands of everyone but the leader.

Entering the final 5 laps Ross choice the moment perfectly to take control with a title winning moment as he blew by Wheel for the lead, with laps counting down fast Ross had to hold off a number of challengers who were putting everything on the line.

Ending what was one of the most entertaining races of the season Alex Ross would take home the title honours Luke Wheel would end up in second while Christopher Temby would round out the podium finishers in third.
