As well as the Kings Royal for Modified Sedans, there will be action from Production Sedans, Street Stocks and Junior Sedans across the three days of racing (see program, below).
The prestigious Queens Royal for female drivers will be decided on Thursday night. This is the fifth time this unique event has been held as part of the Kings Royal program.
