Wingless Warriors Take Flight
Mac Campbell posted Friday January 15, 2010.
Fire Service Plus Nowra Speedway’s sensational “Summer of Speed” enters the second half of the 4 in a row shows tomorrow night when the wheel hiking, throttle stompin’ Wingless Sprints make their 2nd appearance of the season.
Sydney’s Karl Skelton will be trying for 2 feature race wins in succession after a very impressive drive the last time this very exciting division were here in December. He will have his hands full containing the likes of Canberra’s Rob Rawlings who has been in good form this season and has been very quick at Nowra in recent times, Sydney’s Daniel Flood does well at Nowra, a track he knows very well from his junior sedan days. Gary Peers will be making his first appearance at Nowra this season and the sone of former 1950s and 60s star Johnny Peers will be going all out to put on a good show for the fans.
If the fellas thought they were going to have things their own way, they had better think again. Not 1, but 3 lady racers have nominated for the meeting including Wendy Mathis, the first ever USA Wingless Wonder Woman to run at Nowra.
She will have all the “Girl Power” backup she needs in the form of Rachel Neve and Michaela Dumesny. 18yo Rachel is having her first season out of the junior sedan ranks and has shown she has the ability to compete competitively with drivers who have been running around the dirt ovals for many years longer and always does well at Nowra. Michaela is in her 2nd season on the dirt and the daughter of Australian Sprintcar legend Max Dumesny has been putting in some very consistent drives this season already. It will be interesting to see if these “lead foot” ladies can give it to the guys tomorrow.
Backing up the Wingless Warriors will be a full support card including an impressive line up of Speedway Karts, Streetstock and 1600 sedans.
Local Sanctuary Point Kart driver Glen Corish will be trying to make it to feature race wins this season after impressively winning the East Coast Kart Grand National series round here in Nowra a few weeks ago.
Lenny Davis will be hoping to keep his purple patch of form on a roll after a brilliant performance last week when he drove his Illawarra Wire Ropes/WearCo Falcon to a clean sweep of the program with 3 heat race wins before fending off a race long challenge from Commodore driver Mark Morley who has shown some great form himself in recent weeks. The Streetstocks have been putting on some very good racing this season and just proves once more that Nowra is regarded by many drivers as one of the best sedan tracks in NSW.
Gates open as usual at 4pm with racing kicking off from 6pm for what should be an entertaining nights racing.
