Toowoomba driver Ben Langton rolled after the chequered flag in Heat 4 of the Street Stocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 23, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

A spectacular rollover in a heat of the Street Stocks was just a taste of the action when speedway returned to Kingaroy last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Toowoomba driver Ben Langton looked stunned as he was helped from the wreck of his Holden Commodore after it rolled and crashed into a tyre barrier after the chequered flag in Heat 4 of Round 1 of the Edge Automotive Street Stock series.<\/p>\n

After being examined by paramedics, Langton made his way back to the pits but neither he or his Commodore returned to the track.<\/p>\n

The return of speedway to Kingaroy after the COVID-19 disruptions earlier the year was welcomed by fans with a strong turnout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were some changes, of course … QR Code sign-ins at the entrances and no social visits to the pits at the break, but the canteen was in action and spectators appreciated the close racing.<\/p>\n

The next meeting at Kingaroy Speedway will be held on November 7 and the feature event will be the Queensland title of the AMCA Nationals.<\/p>\n

Also in action will be the Modifieds, Production Sedans, Round 2 of the Edge Automotive Street Stock series and Junior Sedans.<\/p>\n
