HVDRA News: Season Finale for Hidden Valley Drag Strip

The season finale of the 2012 Track Championship Series finishes this Saturday with the final round being played out when qualifying gets underway from 2:30pm.

Four out of the seven categories are going to have their finalists decided with Super Street, Street, Street Bike, and Junior Dragsters all having the potential for upsets.

Peter Coles is one competitor madly preparing for his final run of the year. After damaging his 1968 Camaro last meeting he has been waiting for parts to arrive from America. With the delivery unconfirmed he has borrowed parts locally and he has until Saturday to completely rebuild the supercharged V8 that hurtles the Camaro down the quarter mile in 6 seconds.

Accompany Coles will be local Territory identity Matt Abel who is flying back to Darwin to run alongside Coles.

While Outlaws, Super Sedan and Modified Bike are all stitched up for the 2012 season some are turning to the related sport of burnouts.

After destroying his prize 1971 Ford ute earlier this year in a racing accident, local real estate agent Des Groves has put the finishing touches on a Ford XW sedan powered by a 460ci V8 and plans to let it loose on the D&M Colosseum on Saturday. Aptly named SHREDA, it’s sure to make short work of the rear tyres.

Gates open 1:30pm with qualifying throughout the afternoon before feature racing commences at 6pm.

HVDRA News: Drag Racing Climaxes in September

This will be the month to get your drag racing fix at Hidden Valley with the penultimate round of the Hidden Valley Track Championship Series kicking off a month long dragfest with four events in only four weeks starting this Saturday.

With the majority of brackets coming down to the wire the racing is going to be hotly contested. Teams are sure to be pushing their vehicles to their limits to get a finals berth and for some this will be the last chance to bridge that divide between first and second place.

A sizeable but not unsurmountable lead exists in Super Sedan with Grant Rowe 40 points clear of Steve Schruers. With a combined 60 points available over the final two rounds of the year, Rowe is not safe yet. Rowe defeated Schruers at the last event and is yet to be defeated in any of his three finals match ups this year.

Sitting on equal points, Modified Bike competitors Colin Sainsbury and Dale Smith are going to have to be on their game to get a finals berth, especially considering second place is only 10 points behind and tied between Geoff Hawkins and Heath Costello.

Rookie Darcy Muller still leads the Junior Dragsters after a successful start to the season. The second half of the year has been dominated by the Sperrer siblings of Madison and Mitchell so Muller will have to re-find her form to keep her existing lead.

Only 10 points separate first and second place
