SUPER SEDAN STAMPEDE HIGHLIGHTS FEBRUARY 17 LISMORE SPEEDWAY FIXTURE

By Dennis Newlyn

Super Sedan racing returns to Castrol Lismore Speedway, Saturday night, February 17, with the running of the McCosker Series, round nine.

A big field of drivers will not only battle for points in the tournament, but also the tight confines of the Lismore Showground Speedway bull ring.

The event is titled the “Super Sedan Stampede” . . .  and that’s very fitting as no quarter will be given or asked on the race track!

Sedans are the iconic division in the long and illustrious history of the Lismore venue and this race will certainly live up to all expectations.

Promoters Mick and Kim Sauer continue to provide variety race programmes during the 2023-24 season.

“We are very pleased to have the Super Sedans with us again,” co-promoter Kim Sauer said.

“These cars are fast and very spectacular and we will have a top line-up of drivers to battle for main event honours.”

The chase for points in the McCosker Super Sedan series is hotting up and the nominations include tournament championship leader Hayden Brims, second-placed JJ Hamilton and third man in the point standings, Sam Hughes.

The McCosker Series is one of the most competitive tournaments in Australian Super Sedan racing and is held with rounds primarily conducted in Queensland, but also the championship trail ventures interstate, and the very popular Lismore circuit has been taking rounds of the series each season in more recent history of the iconic Lismore venue.

Lismore’s long time female driver Tania Smith is amongst the nominations for the event.

It’s where she started her career some years ago and she will drive the latest model car out of the local Danny Smith owned and operated Rocket Racecars workshop.

Other big names amongst the nominations heading for Lismore are Steve Jordan, David Nichols and Justin Randall, whose family have strong connections with Lismore Speedway over past decades.

Other divisions on the variety race programme are RSA Sedans, Production Sedans and Junior Sedans.
