,Sydney’s weather during the past week has been crazy with violent summer storms tearing up the place before returning to some form of normality if only for a brief period. Round 7 of the Carling pro Series had the perfect build up, bringing together one of the strongest Speedcar field race fans and promoter could have hoped for.
Dayne Kingshott currently the series leader and defending Champion would face off against current Australian number one and POWRi Super Series leader Adam Clarke.
The entry list topped 30 Midgets and the race promised to give the winner bragging rights as the best in Australia.
