Friday’s action included heats in the Modifieds plus all the heats and final of the 7th annual Queens Royal for female drivers.

Day 2 on Saturday will feature more Modifieds action plus racing in Production Sedans and Street Stocks.

The Modifieds competition will reach a climax on Sunday with the lead-up races to the massive final race (and fireworks display).

A new event at this year’s Kings Royal weekend is a free Show And Shine being run on Saturday.

Motoring enthusiasts are invited to bring along their car, bike or truck to show off in the oval at the front of the Kingaroy Showgrounds from 9:00am to 1:00pm.

It’s not a competition, just an opportunity to display your pride and joy and a coffee van will be on site.
