SPEEDCARS ADDED TO MAY 7 VALVOLINE RACEWAY EVENT

Official release: Valvoline Raceway
April 26, 2015

Speedcars have been added to the Valvoline Raceway season finale on Saturday, May 7.

The May 7 event was originally slated as a rain date for the Carline Automotive 50-Lapper however in the light of last Saturday’s unfortunate rain-out of the Speedcar Super Series finale this brings about a unique situation.

“We have been keeping the May 7 date up our sleeve as a rain-out for the 50,” says VR MD Steven Green, “and that may still actually be the case if we need it for that race if the weather isn’t favorable this weekend. However in the meantime we have slated the Speedcar Super Series finale for May 7. If rain were to cancel the 50-lapper this Saturday we’d still re-schedule it on May 7. Hopefully we won’t need to do that and we can run the 50-lapper and the SSS final consecutively on April 30 and May 7. Either way, Speedcars are locked in, in some form, for May 7.”

SSS Principal Ken Jenkins is fully supportive.

“We’re (SSS) grateful for the chance to re-run our final at Parramatta on May 7 but we’re also aware that it’s first and foremost the rainout date for the 50-lap race. We’re hopeful that Parramatta can run both this weekend and next and that way we all get our races in. There’s nothing you can do about the weather. Finger crossed,” says Jenkins.

Remaining schedule for Valvoline Raceway is:

Saturday, April 30
Carline Automotive Speedcar 50-lapper / Late Models / Lightning Sprints / Caravan Derby

Saturday, May 7
Time Target Late Model Easternapolis / Speedcars / Wingless Sprints / Street Stocks
