Street Stocks / Fender Benders Rationalisation Race Meeting
14/01/2014…Pam Franz….courtesy of Ryan Harris
On behalf of Rockhampton Saloon Car Club President Gillian Koch, it is with great pleasure to announce the first ever Central Queensland Sedan Shootout that will be held at Rockhampton Showgrounds on Saturday 1st March and will feature SSA Street Stocks racing with and against the Rockhampton Fender Benders in a one off Class Rationalisation event that has been approved and sanctioned by Speedway Sedans Australia and the Queensland Saloon Car Assn.
Due to the close proximity of specifications between the two divisions, approval has been given to combine both divisions for one night to see how close both divisions are to each other and with the increasing interest around Street Stocks in Queensland including Rockhampton, it made sense to see how close the two divisions are in a blue ribbon event which is expected to attract a great field of cars on the same night that the Junior Sedan Queensland Title will also be held at the Rockhampton venue.
The night will pay some excellent prize money along with a generous tow package for the travelling drivers and the format and prize schedule can be viewed further below.
Along with a lot of interested Fender Bender drivers from around the Rockhampton district, already Kingaroy’s Ryan Harris and Oakey’s Jarred Ash have confirmed their part of this event and will travel north for the Central Queensland Sedan Shootout on 1st March.
Fender Benders by themselves won’t be programed on this night in Rockhampton encouraging them all to be a part of the Central Queensland Sedan Shootout with the visiting Street Stocks.
This is going to be an awesome event and the Street Stock division in Queensland would really like to thank Gillian Koch and the Rockhampton Saloon Car Club for making this event possible.
