Competitors enter the track for the final of the 2023 Kings Royal … the 2024 winner will take home $15,000 cash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 23, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Speedway Club is kicking off its 12th annual Kings Royal carnival by throwing open its doors on Wednesday night for a free, family fun night.<\/p>\n

The fun will start at 6:00pm in the pit area at the Kingaroy Showgrounds track, and everyone is welcome!<\/p>\n

There’ll be race cars on display as well as live music, food vans, a jumping castle and a big screen playing clips from previous speedways.<\/p>\n

However, the real speedway action will get under way on Thursday night with a grand parade at 3:30pm.<\/p>\n

There are three great nights of racing scheduled with more than 280 vehicles nominated to compete.<\/p>\n

Racing will start at 4:00pm each day.<\/p>\n

(Any updates to the racing schedule due to the weather will be posted on the club’s Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n

How The Kings Royal Works<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Kings Royal final is the highest paying race for Modified Sedans in Australia, paying out a total of $50,000 in prize money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 50-lap A Main final, to be raced on Saturday night, there will be a total of $36,450 up for grabs with all drivers receiving a cash prize: $15,000 to the winner, $5000 for second, $3000 for third, down to $350 for 11th-24th.<\/p>\n

Modified Sedan drivers will compete in a series of heats for points on Thursday and Friday night to earn a spot in the final.<\/p>\n

The top 16 points scorers after Friday will be automatically locked into Saturday night’s A Main but will also have to compete in a series of Dashes and Pole Shuffle events on Saturday to determine their starting positions in the big race.<\/p>\n

Other competitors will also take part in Dashes on Saturday, with the opportunity to move forward to the final.<\/p>\n

The finishing positions in the C, D, E and F Dashes will determine the starting order of the last chance B Main race.<\/p>\n

The top six competitors in the B Main earn a spot in the A Main final.<\/p>\n
