Anybody who witnessed the action that unfolded during round one of the Sprintcar Track Championship two weeks ago will be much anticipating the second round of competition to be contested this Saturday night (October 1) at Ausdeck Patios Archerfield Speedway. The opening round produced action aplenty and some sensational on-track combat that ended with Robbie Farr standing atop the podium alongside Andrew Scheuerle and Bryan Mann. With Farr is not racing this weekend, Scheuerle and Mann, both of whom have won the track championship over the previous two seasons, will no doubt fancy their chances of making their first visit to victory lane. However, with Luke Oldfield clocking a feature race win in Toowoomba last weekend and more than 20 other drivers desperate for success, the only certainty is that the racing will be red hot.

One driver who produced plenty of excitement during the opening round - in more ways than one - was Kevin Titman. Having produced plenty of pace throughout the night, Titman started the 30-lap feature race from pole position and was leading the race until a miscue whilst manoeuvring through lapped traffic curtailed his victory charge and also ended Oldfields race. Titman and Oldfield will be a huge threat again this weekend, with Brent Kratzmann and Peter Lack also expected to feature prominently after strong drives into fourth and fifth respectively during round one.

A welcome addition to the field this weekend is Gold Coast youngster Lachlan McHugh. The teenager enjoyed a tremendous campaign last season that included a maiden feature race win and, having missed the series opener, he will be looking to kick off his new season with the best possible result. Whilst McHugh was the standout amongst the batch of youngsters that emerged last season, Mitchell Gee, Callum Walker and Jayden Peacock are also on the cusp of something big and will again be in the thick of the action.

Having caused a sensation when he scored a Sprintcar feature race win in only his second ever meeting in the category, Northern Territory racer Chris Harrison takes a significant step forward in his racing career when he joins the field this Saturday, with New Zealander Brett Sullivan returning after a miserable opening round that saw his night end early following a heat race crash.

Former national sedan champions Darren Kane and Andrew Corbet are continuing their open wheel education, with both drivers hoping for better fortunes after crashing out on debut. Corbet flipped out in his opening heat race, while Kane impressed to qualify for the feature race, only to become involved in Oldfields turn three wipe-out.

Also in the field this Saturday night are Paul Rooks, Ben Hilder, Anthony Lambert, Mark Pholi, Kristy Bonsey, David Whell, Steve Greer, Clem Hoffmans, Dylan Menz and James Grady.

Compact Speedcars have assembled a solid 16-car field for their second event of the season, with Australian Champion Darren Vine once again the man to beat after cruising home to win the season-opening feature race. Wayne Corbett finished second on that occasion and again looms as the most likely to challenge Vine this weekend, although Rob Stewart will also be a serious threat. Of the rest, expect Matt Jurczak, Kristin Brown and Emma Harris, who was very quick but out of luck at the previous event, to feature in the fight for the minor placings.

Also on the program this weekend will be Lightning Sprints, Microsprints, Formula 500 Juniors and Open Sedans, so for the ultimate night of speedway action, make tracks to Ausdeck Patios Archerfield Speedway. Gates open at 4.00pm, early racing gets underway at 4.45pm and Sprintcars will hit the track for time trial qualifying from 5.30pm.
