Round 4 Exide Batteries Nambour Qld Modified Production Series at Gympie

17/02/10…Pam Franz

This weekend is Round 4 of the Exide Batteries Nambour Qld Modified Production Series being held at Gympie – 23 cars are nominated – being the 30/30 event this means a huge 46 drivers. When you review the field it is a star studded field and should provide a great spectacle of Modified Production racing.

The return of Gary Pagel, Mark Pagel, Brian Learoyd to Modified Production racing will bring back lots of memories for regular visitors to the Mountain. Bevan Collins and Tim O’Shea from the Super Sedan ranks will be interesting. Add to the mix Street Sedan drivers Travis Hutchison, Jim Cowley, Kent Shelford, Paul Redman, Shannon Blackburn, Russell Cowley and James Elliott the night is guaranteed to be exciting. Jess Raymont will be sharing the debuting of her new car with Jamie O’Meara. Troy Ware is returning from the Midget ranks to team up with Darren White. Shane and Nathan MacDonald team up in the Q1 car making a formidable pair.

Each driver competes in 2 heats and the collective points scored on the night determine starting positions in the first 30 lap A Main – where the first driver finishes the first 30 Laps is where the car lines up to start the second 30 Lap A Main. The car to take the chequered flag at the end of the second 30 Laps is the eventual winner.

Racing begins at 4.30pm with a full support program – this is not a meeting to miss.
