World Series Sprintcars opener rained out!

Murray Bridge Speedway hosted the opening round of the Championship round for 2016/17 on Saturday night. With threatening skies overhead and anticipation that they would remain rain free the 34 teams set about getting the best possible start to their campaigns. The track at Murray Bridge appeared to be a little wet early in the night as you can see from this picture of Steven Lines during engine start.The importance of scoring early point is even more critical with difficult weather around .With all the heat races in the books mother nature sent a warning ,never under estimate her. The rain belted down forcing the remainder of the night to be cancelled. Fasted in the time trial was Brad Kellar from fellow South Australian Ryan Jones.

The top 10 in points were: Jamie Veal was the top qualifier on 82 points ahead of Brooke Tatnell 75, James McFadden 75, Luke Dillon 75, Ryan Jones 75, Brad Keller 75, Matt Egel 75, Steven Lines 74, Robbie Farr 74 and Daniel Pestka 71.

Round two will see the Team heading up the motorways to Valvoline Raceway for next Saturday night clash with the Valvoline Raceway locals.
