Coming into Saturday night’s Speedcar Feature Race, Steven Doyle had beaten all contenders in both his heat races to sit on pole position.
Half way through the race luck went south with a spin resulting in Doyle going to the rear. With only 4 laps left in the race, Doyle used the highline to perfection to be on the tail of race leader Keven Miles. With a perfect last lap on the highline Doyle stole the race win the last corner from Miles.
This was only one of several exciting race events at Avon Valley Speedway on the weekend, which held its first night meeting in eight years.
A good field of competitors were greeted with a healthy crowd, enjoying a beautiful spring evening trackside. Matt Brown took off from where he finished last meeting, with a big win in the Formula 500 class, further back Cameron Mckenzie, Hayden Norman and Trystan Caley were swapping positions all over the track.
With Mckenzie and Norman managing to hold onto second and third spots.
Junior Sedans had their first visit to the venue this season and put on some clean, exciting racing. Stefani Ameduri pulled of the race win in her bright blue Charade from Beau Doyle and Izak Davies.
Street Stocks were down on numbers, but made up for that with awesome racing on track between all drivers. The brother combination of Jamie Oldfield and Jason Oldfield were too strong for the competition and dominated at the front of the field.
Further back Peter Seaton, Gordon Wyatt and Simon Mcnabb were scrambling for the minor positions. Race winner Jamie Oldfield commented “the track was so fast tonight, basically it was foot flat and hold on.”
Avon Valley Speedway returns in three weeks with the Super Sedan Showdown, which is promising to be a huge show with big fields expected from across the state.
The 700hp V8 Super Sedans are set to tackle the highbanks for the first time in many years.
Also racing on the night are V8 Non Wing Sprints, Formula 500s, Street Stocks and AMCA Nationals. In early December the Free Kidz Night will be held which includes kids bicycle races at halftime, face painting, bouncy castles and more which makes this a great night for the whole family.
