Defending champion Tony Blanch won back-to-back titles at the AMCA Nationals Queensland Titles raced last Saturday night in Kingaroy.
The Grafton-based driver won all three of his qualifying heats before acing the final before a good size crowd at the Kingaroy Showgrounds.
Blanch saw off challenges by Bruce Marshall – who ended up third – and Nathan Durston in the feature race.
Also raced on the night were Production Sedans, Juniors, Street Stocks and Modifieds (see results, below).
The next speedway meeting in Kingaroy will be the Christmas Cup, to be run on December 12.
And in some good news, the South Burnett Speedway Club announced on Friday that the 9th annual Kings Royal will go ahead as planned on January 22-24.
“We will be closely monitoring directives from the Queensland Government, Queensland Health, the Queensland Chief Medical Officer as well as all other Australian States & Territories concerning all regulations in place for the current COVID pandemic,” a spokesperson said.

Redcliffe driver Callum Auld showed courage in Heat 1 of the Street Stocks, which was run in the reverse direction.
He rolled his Falcon on Lap 4, coming to rest on its side next to the tyre barriers.
