The third annual Zoe Girdlestone Memorial race for late models – run as a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish organisation – attracted a top field to the Lucas Oils Kingaroy Speedway last Saturday night.
Ipswich driver Darren Kane maintained his winning streak, securing a back-to-back win after taking out Round 1 of the Thunder Series in Toowoomba the previous weekend.
Kane set a quick pace in the 30-lap main, coming in ahead of Ben Nicastri with Matt Ingrey third.
In other racing on the night, the Gold Coast’s Luke Oldfield raced home to win the Sprintcar Spectacular.
Oldfield swept around the outside of Kevin Titman and David Muir to the lead midway through the feature and was never troubled, holding on for a sensational win in front of a big crowd.
Andrew Scheuerle finished second just ahead of Muir, who earlier set a new one-lap record of 12.511 seconds.
It was a Lismore trifecta in the Wingless Sprints feature with Warren King passing Robert Mazzer and David Eggins around the outside in the closing stages of the feature to bag a great win.
In the Lightning Sprints feature, Peter Campbell drove from the back of the field to beat home Scott Genrich and Troy Norton in a very entertaining feature race.
The next race meeting at the Lucas Oils Kingaroy Speedway will be held on December 7 and will feature the V8 Super Sedans Queensland Title as well as Formula 500s, Production Sedans, Street Stocks and Junior Sedans.
There’ll also be a fireworks display and Santa will pop by for a visit.
