For a long time Alexandra & District Speedway Club have prided themselves on how they support and develop young Junior Speedway racers into the adult years in the sport of Speedway, this weekend the race meeting headlines Junior Sedan racers from the National division and the Victorian state division with features on offer for both supported by Trax Racewear.

In the national division Juniors that race cars up to 1500cc, a number of competitors from South Australia and the South West of Victoria will head into town to compete with Alexandra’s local kids keen to take the challenge up to the front runners in the state point score for the Junior Sedan Promotional Association.

Lilydale racer Kasey Garlick, Ricky Cornwall from Kilsyth, Callum Potter and Courtney Meakins will represent the host club Alexandra in the state point score event whilst a number of local B Grade competitors will compete in the B Grade racing with Breanna Simpson, Chloe Ringwood racer Sheerman, Linken Paterson and Rhys Meakins amongst the front runners currently racing at Alexandra Speedway.

Competition from the visiting race drivers will be strong, the chances of Alexandra members taking victory in both classes is also high. Kasey Garlick has set records this season and has had close battles with Cornwall through the year wherever they have gone, throw in the kids from the South West of Victoria and South Australian Brad Gartner, & the battle is going to fantastic to watch.

The Victorian Speedway Council Juniors feature which allows V8 and 6 cylinder powered race cars, has attracted eleven competitors with from very strong cars from the Shepparton and North East Victoria areas to do battle with the Alexandra members.

Nick Cherry, Connor Donegan, Jack Brudenell and Rhys Meakins will have their hands full with Lachie Fitzpatrick and Tristan McGraw from the Goulburn Valley club and Toby Carmichael from the Corowa – Rutherglen club and Zac Twomey and Janie Patton from the Wangaratta club amongst the entries.

All three Junior features are supported by Trax Racewear.

On the same race schedule, Goulburn Ovens Sedan Association will compete for the Committee Cup with a small but tough field, Ross Maclean was fast at Alexandra last time he was here however the V8 powered Fords of Liam and James Powell could give him a headache on the big fast venue.

The Sports Sedan’s and Standard Saloons are the support classes.
Racing begins on Saturday at 4pm and with $20 the price of an adult entry and $10 for children aged 10 to 16 and aged and invalid pensioners. Children under 10 years of age enter for free.
