Crowds flock to Speedway Opener

Saturday night saw a full house at Blue Ribbon Raceway for a great night of open wheel action to start the new race season off in great style.
Featured events for the meeting were the Formula 500 for the continuation of speed weeks. 33 cars made their way to Horsham from the previous nights action at Hamilton, with most teams arriving with few issues from the nights action.
The formula 500 cars look very similar to Sprintcars with their large wings but are powered by 500cc motorbike engines and the speeds are impressive. With the formula cars divided into three fields and competing in six heat races the action began early with perfect weather greeting the race crews and spectators alike.

Blue Ribbon Raceway Season Opener Cancelled due to Lack of Nominations
KALKEE’S Blue Ribbon Raceway season opener has been cancelled due to a lack of numbers.
The AMCA V8 series and Three Litre Sedan feature event was originally set for December 27.
Horsham Motor Sports Club Committee member and promotions officer Jamie Collins said there was not enough nominations for this year’s event.
“We didn’t want to put on a disappointing show with a lack of nominations”, he said.
“It normally is quite a popular event but with the good harvest season our volunteers and drivers, who are predominately farmers, are pretty tied up. “We are disappointed but we will be looking forward to our next race.”
Collins said they would not be rescheduling as the timing was too tight and would instead look to preparations for its feature 360 sprint cars event on February 4 next year.
